i think he must brush a little the 5TH machine head no to catch a caugh just by tuning his guitar

i'm just wondering what kind of cheese he could make putting all this pretty green micro bacterian life into a bottle of milk

.....anyway .... this goldtop is a sweet beauty

Hey sorry guys I can display them at any resolution I want to with Photobucket, all I have gotten are complaints one way or another.
On Les Paul Forum they had no complaints about the file size, I only have a 23 inch monitor myself.Oh well

That tuning peg button isn't colored that way from rust or bacteria. That's what happens when the plastics start to break down and the binding agents outgas. It needs to be stabilized or replaced, as the outgassing can corrode the metal parts and leave sticky gunk in the case, and the button will crumble to nothing after a while.
My buddy's dad's '59 335 was starting to do this too, I had to clean corrosion off the frets to even play the thing.

Still, I'd donate my left nad for that guitar.

I am hoping to play this bad girl in July when I return to the east coast.
Also maybe, I can take the next set of pictures

Glad you enjoy it.

Hope to see you greater Tri-state area Metro forum bros there!
I will be attending with Jack Romano, my old great friend, it's a great venue. Stay tuned!
