...with the custom pickups....

That was an amazing guitar.

Update… Jol confirmed it's a 1981 and sent me the page that it was listed on. I dug a very early PAF and a very early Duncan 59 and a mid 80s gold Floyd out of the parts piles and put this thing together. New CTS pots. Right now there is a mishmash of tuning machines on the headstock but I have a brand new set I'm about to put on. I decided that I'm not gonna restore it but play it like this because it's awesome. I have this friend named Phil that reached out to me that wants to borrow it for a tour… So if you get Bon Jovi tickets you'll see this guitar. As of right now… It is not for sale. It's way too much fun.

1955, 1956, 1958, 1959, 1959, 1962

The headstock has been repaired. It seems to be very solid.

0457 this is just a quick mock up… The guitar was routed for a Floyd and all of the original parts are gone. It has a previous headstock repair. I thought about going through the effort of restoring it and decided that it will be more fun to just play it. So I dug an old gold Floyd out of the parts bin and I will put it together to be a stage guitar at some point… I am way too busy with customer guitars to mess with my own shit right now. It's pretty damn cool though…

When it gets here.

I just bought a 4 digit Standard. The pots and pickups are not original. What year would a mid 04xx guitar be?

2016. I was there helping GNL guitars set up their custom shop and Dave let me shoot video in Leo's office.

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis(like Mick Mars), and concentrated tart cherry juice is an amazing anti inflammatory that that doesn't suck. A couple shots a day, poured over vanilla ice cream, added to smoothies...lots of ways to use it and it WORKS.

I found this locally. It's gonna need some love...

It was me. Guilty.

When I had my shop, I had a long and fruitful relationship with those guys. I helped them set up their custom shop. They even let me shoot video of Leo's office…
