Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Well she arrived unannounced and COD. 1619-1 resurrected from a caved in top purchased off Ebay. New Top, New Carved Bridge, New Bowl, Upgraded Electronics, and a Swwwwweeet fret job and setup. Oh yeah ... I also had them replace the standard white saddle with a black one. WELL worth every dime ...

She wasn't out for very long. It was actually about 40 degrees, and I had my t-shirt on. (: |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | You now have a "new" vintage guitar. Very sweet. It is really tough to find somebody who is not totally satisfied with the factory's rehab work. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | Very nice, but are you sure about that new bowl. The abalone in the binding looks like the original. The bowl gets re-painted and looks new, but it could be the old bowl, particularly with the old truss rod necks. What model number is on the label? 1719? |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Mitchrx,
When I had originally spoken with Kim at the factory, he informed me they would be replacing the bowl along with the top as "that's the way we do them". The original electronics were replaced also, and the bowl is new inside and out. The sound is absolutely phenominal and the action is as smooth as butter. |
