Post by Tsmithpam » Sun Apr 12, 2020 7:13 am

Hey all
Hope ok and staying safe.

Hope also this link works to see images of what cheers me up in these dark times:

Original box and trem arm with it but safe in storage.

Waited (saved) for many years for this and it hasn’t disappointed.

Best wishes to all

Tom

That’s gorgeous!
The hue, the checking, the binding… just perfect.

Wonderful! My 1st Jag was just like that, but the body had been stripped and cheaply refinished :fp:

Congratulations. I removed the pictures of my old LPB Jag\JM pair as, after re-reading my post, I didn't want to detract from the OP's LPB beauty thread. Enjoy.

Lovely. I had one just like it (but without the neck binding). Sonically, it was kind of a wreck, so I let it go. I kinda miss it.

Checking on that looks incredible! Especially in that pic looking across the guitar from bridge to neck. Phwoar.
