The aging on the upper bout looks a lot like my 52. I love mine as well. Fantastic tone with the old wood and P-90's. Great Pics!

I wonder whether Joe B would actually play this guitar live in front of an audience, given the sticker....
Or has he already? Would be quite a statement along with the suit and shades... :rofl:yah

I was proud of myself yesterday. The neck pickup in this guitar is glorious. However, the bridge pickup was initially a little poochie. I changed the strings and before putting the new ones on, I shimmed the bridge pickup with a popsicle stick. Freakin’ thing roars now!:dude:

I like my 90's closer rather than poles up (most of the time, I have one that just gets muddy). That guitar rocks! I would LOVE to have one just like it.

You gotta admit, I was right about keeping this guitar basically as is. I am always amazed how good these 52-53 guitars can be. Glad it worked out.

A well loved warrior:2cool

About 25 years ago I was at our Auckland Rockshop and asked if they had any old Gibsons and out came a '52 with a baseball bat neck.......not as used as yours though Charlie.
Was bought by the guitarist in Bryan Adams band I think in the end......... NZ$6k.
