Location: South of most, North of few | Just got the 1537 back from the factory, and I am sorry to say I can't find a thing wrong with what they did. Don't they ever screw up? Seriously, great job John and friends. Can hardly see the crack in the top, and with the new eppies, it looks killer...
Getting a nice collection too...

Thanks a lot,

Now play the heck outta that 1537-1. It's got a lot of catching up to do with the rest of ours. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Naw, I didn't over do it. I did make it home and get to unpack it, take a pic or two, but that's about it. I was just out watching a movie with the family. I did just get to play it for a little while, and it does sound sweet. I just wish I could retire so I would have time to play all of these. Maybe someday... |

Location: South of most, North of few | BTW Arthur, before pics. You can see the eppies missing. Kept the original top, just removed the bridge, eppies, sanded the clearcoat off, repaired the crack and re cleared it. You can still see the crack, but just barely. Wanted to keep the original burst finish intact.

Good to just have them repair it rather than replace it.
Keep the mojo, y'know bro'? |

| That's a great looking collection - but doesn't that blue one spoil it? Respray immediately. Acoustic guitars were never meant to be blue. They just don't look right. |
