I never thought you'd say that twice either!

That's a nice burst. That case interior tho

Loverly. Even more special as 1977 is my birth year.

Photo trick or are those bone saddles?

Nylon saddles like Gibson? Or Tusq replacements.

Yeah mine too…

That is one hell of a looker, nice score Beeg.

It looks even more pristine in person! Not going to plug in yet but it’s very lively acoustically. I’m finding th frets to be a bit skinny/low for my usual tastes but not in a hurry to regret with jumbos, I’ll leave it for a good few hours playing to decide!

I must have really liked saying it.

That burst is lovely. Congratulations Bg. Now do what I do. Hang it on the wall and never play it.

That looks super cool. What pickups are in it?

1977 Maton pickups I presume

Sometimes you can be too enthusiastic, but you can say again if you want

I set a price today at "+ GST + GST"
but I'm leaving so I could care less.

It has the proper looking old school rosewood. Nice. Dark and a kind of gnarly grain. I do not like that pale brown looking rosewood so many guitars have these days. Kind of baby poop colour. The proper Brazilian stuff is endangered though. Rain forests and all that. Oh well.
My favourite guitar to play lately is my 1990s Les Paul Studio. It has an ebony finger board and sounds flippin' great with a Super Distortion in it. My 2020 SG Standard '61 has the Indian rosewood, but luckily it's not the soiled nappy colour stuff. I'm colour blind, but can still spot rosewood that not up to scratch.

Magnificent guitar. Enjoy it, Beej
