Before and After pics....actually, I guess it would be after and after after pics, right?...lol

What she looked like when I got her back...

Here she is after I picked her up today. This is what it looked like back in '76...minus the smudges and 34 years of scuffs.

Unfortunately, you can tell the pickguard is new. Notice how white the edge is compared to the binding of the guitar. Maybe in another 30+ years it will match...LOL

Looks great. The binding on my MPC turned the same color. I read about guys soaking there white replacement vol/tone knobs in coffee to give them an aged look.

How does it sound?

After all those years she is still a head turner. I am glad she found her way home to you. :up:
