My first PAF 50s

Refinished by HM in burst.
Reneck with a 60 neck in early 60s. all aboriginal parts (electronics, plastics etc...)
neck is super nice. PAFs sound just like it should....
off center seam but the refinish is actually pretty nice

Looks great. Beautiful color.

Is this the Nite Owl that had the crown inlay on the headstock?

I would always prefer an original Goldtop finish, but that is a beautiful faded burst.

Congratulations. I am sure it will inspire you every time you pick it up to play. :salude :3zone

Wow, i am super blown away !!!!! Very impressive to my eyes . The off center seam does not jump out at you and is subtle to me . I love how sweet this guitar looks . I know it probably cost you plenty to buy firstly and then for HM to do there magic , but i think this is a winner and worth every penny , plus real PAF's and this guitar looks like it drips vibe and mojo and MAGIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo :3zone

Beautiful guitar!! Such amazing work & finish.

Is that an SV20H I see? I bet it sounds great with that cab.

yeah I wanted a plexi I could crank. It’s actually pretty loud at 5W already. Sounds great.
i ordered a SC20H too in the end (the JCM800 version). Such great amps in my opinion.
