In Gordo We Trust

Degunked, wire wooled and
Danish Oiled into submission

OK, I promise not to go on about this anymore,

mooning over some knackered old guitar

- well -

I agree that it is maybe a bit sad for a chap of such advanced age..

...but I did finish my lovely old Gordon Smith yesterday, and figured I should show you.

It has been stripped, smoothed a bit and Danish oiled.

I put a new bridge post and some Epi Casino tuners on after I broke the ones that came with it.

Fretboard got lemon oiled like a Roman god.

Slightly re-shaped one of the nut slots - brass nuts, sound great, a bitch to 'edit'.

Yes, I can't find the switch tip

Future plans:

I will probably change the knobs if I can ever manage to remove them.

I may replace the pickups or at least the neck one which is a wee bit bland.

OK, the keen of eye may notice that I've managed to misplace the switch tip somehow, but there we are.

Isn't it lovely?

Divine?


I just keep giggling.

Normal service will resume soon enough, I guess, but I'm all teenage and starry eyed, and would you begrudge me that?

I'm lurving the logo is upside down, and the Epi tuners

You say it's love?
It's the back of love...
