Gibson project

Post by NickS »

I must have had this much since around 1972 but I can't remember the hell why. I think it's time to complete the project. Can someone help me with the rest of the guitar?

If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

Hey, thanks, Esteban. You have vintage 1972 strings? Or re-issues?
