Beautiful in that color!
Congratulations, I'm sure it's a more satisfying purchase than the van!

 All in all once you get past the black pups and hardware it is nicely executed. Typical Gibson QC the bridge pup was not  completely screwed in and almost ready to fall out of the cavity. lol

 Small looks like a Studio 'bird.

Oh my, that's very pretty.

Are you going to do anything with it?  I think once mine gets here I'll swap the input jack with and tone knobs around, plus I will be putting a Supertone bridge on it (that's already here).

Don't know how it sounds, but it looks great!

We need a review?

  It will be a bit for a review hopefully in the next week. It's hit the fan here, I was lucky just to be able to go pick it up.

It is a Studio 'bird. At least that what Gibson calls it. That excuses or at least explains the differences between it and a vintage NR.

Pretty in Pelham.
