1959 refin

Most of you have seen the guitar above a few times.  When I bought it a few years ago I planned to have it refinished immediately, but the color really grew on me.  Unfortunately the finish was really poor quality, and pretty soon it had worn down even to bare wood in a couple spots.  I figured I may as well get it properly done, and stick with a light color.  I sent the body to Curtis Novak and I just got it back together a few days ago.  I'm thrilled with it and thought I'd share a few pics.

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Yeah I think Curtis did a fantastic job with it.  His blonde finish is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.
