Gitfiddler Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Beautiful! You don't see many set-in pickup Heritage Johnny Smiths. Most have floaters. Also, is that an HRW p'up?
golferwave Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Congrats on the repair! That's a beautiful instrument!
rwinking Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Do you have a “before” picture of it? It looks beautiful and would be good to have something to compare it to.
ironmike Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Yes ,the pickup is hrw.it is perfect in this box..I have ,'before' pictures but I have to reduce them because the forum can't handle the data..I will Get around to it ...This is the guitar that sold on reverb two years ago for $5500.,someone screwed the delivery and it was damaged,I bought it from reverb themselves as they had to make good on it..I assume ups scewed the insured as they always do..Anyway,I for one have built many guitars,and have gotten to blind to do what I use to do(but I can hear better ,haha)so I called upon Tracy Longo in Ventura California..He took it in...And made it perfect...I am not here seeking approval,I am a pro,just sharing my good fortune..And to separate the wonder of it all for you,let me just say that it is my good fortune to own 8 or 9 heritage archtops...The Johnny Smith,blows them all away...Period et al....Fine'.
