OK, I have a guitar too...........
« on: February 06, 2009, 01:49:16 PM »
Got this for my birthday a couple months back.  Pretty cool old guitar that matches a bass I made!  In fact, my bass was an old Tornado just like this one before I "converted" it!

I'll confess that I have a gee-tar too.  Found this lovely Lyle hollowbody at a flea market - it had two string cuts in the nut that were too low, and never fixed in 30 years.  A little baking powder and super glue fixed that.  After taking these photos, I replaced the missing trem handle with a Strat model, slightly bent to fit.




Very cool headstock with PG material overlay...
