Introducing another Dave Johnson Makeover - Pearly Gates recreation.

This beauty was given the gift of a Hard Rock Maple top. Again Dave knocked it out of the park.

Without further delay, some pics now, more pics to come.

I had done a setup and top wrapped it - first pic illustrates top wrap.

Actually this is my fault, as I did not specify to Dave to top wrap them. The issue is that Dave had done such a fantastic job setting these guitars up I was afraid to do a setup and lose that Killer feel. But I worried for nothing, as the top wrap plays beautifully.
