yes, especially because of the aged wood, the guitar should have an unmistakable sound!
congrats :)

Ok... I just took delivery of the neck (sent in two shipments to shake off Customs) but the body is still lost in the Australian Post ether.

The pix on the ad showed the Pat #'s missing... but on closer inspection they are there but rubbed a bit... will get some pix...

well the neck DEFINITELY has had a dodgy reapplication of a decal... i can see the outline of another decal underneath the current one. doesnt show up too well in pix tho...

i am in no hurry to replace it with a "correct" one but as a reference where can i get vintage correct replacement decals?
