Did any stick out to you as being "it"...


There was one plain top '59 that is owned by a German mate of Tom Wittrock....... Bernd.He had the stand beside Tom's and they collectively had around 9-10 bursts on display '58-60.His one would have been my choice as it had good frets and good tone......it was instantly playable.Most of the 57 GTs and LP Standards I got my hands on needed a fret job.

You've got a great collection of gats Unique..........congrats man. Did you source them locally over many many years?
Doin' that scrapyard thing.

All gathered over time and through various means (some swaps, trades, cash mostly dammit) - I've had many many more...come and gone.
