[55special]

Super cool! Congrats! What's the HM wait time like these days?

 

[Axel]

Very sweet, Sean!

 

[bluesjuke]

The Eagle has landed!

Sweetness personified.


How long did you stay up playing it "for just a minute more" after we talked the other night?

Yeah,after we talked I was still playin' it.At that hour it was plugged into my '70 Champ.eace2

 

[Sean French]

Thanks for all the kind words guys.:salude

I can't comment on the wait time as I didn't send this R4 in to Dave.
It was Kim's personal R4 that was sent by him to be madeover.I think he sent it to Dave in '07.I'm not sure.
Then it became Dave's personal guitar in a deal they worked out.
Then I picked it up from Dave.
Make sense?:lol

Sean, as you know I have a real 54 and has had a refin from Dave. I must say yours looks vintage for sure, and I am glad your Happy with it. Congrats

 

[bnorm44]

I just don't get it...this whole fake aging thing.:wah



Just kidding, that looks amazing.:applaude were you able to find some vintage P-90's? or are they stock.? Enjoy it Sean, thanks for sharing the photo's. I need to get p-90 Les Paul.

 

[Red Baron]

You know, there is a way to fix that.

Yeah but I'm too chicken to try it

 

[moonweasel]

To me, the hard part would be having the guitar away for so long. Mapleflame alway suggests doing the stripping ahead of time because it can reduce the wait.

I have yet to see a DJ that sucked, so no worries there.

I would also probably have sleepless nights shipping a guitar half way around the world.

 

[Breakfastime]

Lovely! You sure they didn't keep yours and just send you some old guitar?

 

[Sean French]

You going with FatBoy on the pup covers?

Hi Chuck,
Those would be cool.Duncan covers are great too.I had those on my other R4 that I owned a couple of years back.
Have you got any bone white covers you could hook me up with?
What covers are on your R6?

 

[D'Mule]

The back color is walnut.Not faded cherry.
I took the pick of the back in bright direct sunlight to try and show the checking.

Funny, my eye sees some red on my monitor. Looks great!

 

[Trans-Am]

Nice one there Sean!!!:wow

Congrats!!:salude

I see what you mean though.It's a difficult color to truely capture with photos.
Here is an indoor pic with a flash.
The PRS is a cherry back and the R4 is walnut brown
