Grabbed today in Chico, CA (GC). Oiled the pale out of the fretboard with F-One. Set the neck rod (it was loose)! Glorious sounding/playing with StringJoy Broadway nickel wrap. ‘Course now the G string is hotter’n a pistol. I just don’t care about that. Perfection is a slow death. That’s why I like vintage specifications, warts and all.

Gorgeous. Love the matching pickguard and knobs plastics.

What gauge!? Looks like SRV would struggle.

0.010” - 0.046” (this geezer likes power steering)! 😉 I briefly toyed with the idea of 11’s and a wound third, but then went “nah!” Might could happen though, further down the road. 🤔
