Thanks Pete. It really looks great. A nice orange/brown, while the Jagmaster is more a red/brown.
The 51 is actually pretty scratched up, and I wish I could fill in the screw holes. But I really like it's "lived-in" quality. Also, since I took those pics, I have replaced the tele-style knobs, with Jaguar-style knobs.
Another thing about the 51, the body is made of at least 4 (maybe even 5, I can't quite tell) pieces of wood. That seems like a lot 😀
But thanks for the compliment on the guitar. When I first bought it, I thought I was buying somethintg only it's mother could love. Nice to see it makes the grade for others too 😁
