Just wanted to give you all another look at the craftsmanship of James Morehead on a refurbed roundfront. Clean as a whistle. Plays sweet, sounds sweet.
ADDED 2/23/11: Just to clarify, I did not purchase this guitar directly from James, nor did I direct him to do the refurb. He was good enough to direct me to someone who had what I was looking for. The work he performed on this guitar was done years ago for another person.

James sure has purty stuff  Makes me wish I still had my "Bud" to send him. Heck, I may just mount one of his knee levers to my Carter just to look at.

Frank, Thanx for the kindness. I'm so proud you are getting along with your new guitar, that's awesome. Holler if I can help you with adjustment, ect. And thanx guys for the kind words--it's a labor of love for these old guitars and a real mission to make them as nice as they can be.

Beautiful instrument, gorgeous polish work, and I'll bet it plays like a dream.
James is the real deal.

Here's a couple from the topside - looks like he went over the cabinet with a Zamboni. James, you rock!

Thanx for the kind words Frank. That guitar of yours sounds better than it looks, too. You got a real keeper there, my friend!!

I'd love to hear that guitar sing-you should upload a sound clip!
How DOES he get it so shiny! This is a work of art-very impressive. Makes me want to invest in a second PSG!

James..I hope all is well with you my friend. I finally got both old Buds up and running. Your parts are the wonderful! Once you get caught up a little I'd like to get a few more pieces.
THANKS! |
