~1960 Harmony Stratotone H47

I've been working on this since I bought it in July, 2008. Here's the before shot:



Here's the work I did:
- pickup rewind by Brett Brubaker, to 12.4k. This one has a ceramic magnet with a FULL bobbin.
- added vintage knobs
- replaced tail piece
- wiring harness repair
- raised nut to kill some buzz from the fret board
- new strap pin (modern one that fitted)
- general stuff like, pot cleaning, fret dressing, fretboard oiling, spit and polish
- tuners lubricated
- new strings 10-46's

Quite a transformation, I'm sure you'll agree:
