Other than the pictures that are posted I don't think there is anything new. Hey I just bought a 52 les Paul Gold Top from ebay. It will probably make it's way to ShamRay for some repairs. Minor one's but need to be done. Thanks for the understanding. I am going to use real 54 tuners for this guitar. Using pigtail wraparound for the bridge. Haven't figured out the pickup thing. | |

I heard of clamps at surgery but this is rediculous I always wanted to see how the maple was attached to the Mahogony. Under pressure.

Sure, supposedly it belonged to a farmer in New York State in the town of Binghamton. After he died the family had an estate auction to settle the money between families. The grandson wanted to sell it for 200.00 yes 200.00. The mom which is the farmers daughter told the son no we should get at least 1500.00. I wish I was at that auction. Well a man that cleans out auctions buy buying most of their stuff for a lower price bought the guitar. Well I did not pay that little. The strings have not been changed since the 60's. A few mod's have been done back then. A B3 bigsby was added which does not get screwed in the top of the body, and the trapeze bridge part was reversed and screwed to the existing holes. The neck has a bow form the string tension over 40 years. The headstock had a crack but is not in an area that affects the upper neck. Frets are perfect as well as the fret board. I will post a pic. Thanks for the interest Stein. | |

That's a real beauty, that. Not to mention a real collector's item. I hope you got a good deal, cause I've understood that vintage LP's fetch astronomical prices. Wil you be playing it or just "collecting" it? | |

I will play the fret board off her. I will call her "Golden Girl". I need to get a pickguard and a toggle tip. The pickguard is 1600.00 and the tip ouch!!! I will get a repro tip. | |

Michael that Mahogony looks like it's 50 years old. All the new cut stuff looks reall white color. Hey I definitely want that grainy look to the back and the neck. Did they put fullerplast on the wood before they did the 58-60 Burst. I think it would look reall cool with the dark grain lines on the mahogony.

"grainy" look you see on the body is just the first sealer coat of lacquer, not fully sanded off yet. The neck hasnt yet been fine sanded, nor received a sealer coat... Old bursts didnt get sealed with fullerplast, they just got a liberal smearing with "gibson red pore filler"... If you want pore filler on this one, please let me know ASAP! |

thats not what I meant, I know the wood of the neck and body is not finished yet. I am saying that I want a grainy look as opposed to a shiny epoxy look. What ever you think is correct go with it. Some of the Tokai and greco's I have, have that epoxy look. That's all not trying to make it difficult. Thanks Michael | |

Can I ask where you source your maple? I see one useful piece on ebay every 6 months. Just missed out on one this weekend, 2 x 8.5 x 24. Beautiful, sold for $50. | |

Jon, have a look at Maple Leaf Hardwoods (www.curlymaple.com), there's usually a few pieces of nice flame maple available from them. If you want quilts I've seen some very nice ones from Buzzsaw International Hardwoods on e-bay. I know Shamray's bought pieces from both companies on occasions. It was actually Michael who suggested them to me when I was looking for wood for CS-0057. | |

we get figured maple from all over the place, but one of my favorite sources for "eastern flame maple" is Paul at MAPLELEAF HARDWOODS ( http://www.curlymaple.com/ ) | |
