That depends ... what kind of truck?

Thanks to all for your kind comments ... this really was a labor of love. The Pro II sounds and plays better than new ...

Awesome!

Fantastic ode chap!

Very Nice restoration. She sure looks better than New.

Looks tremendous Rick! Great job!

Great job Rick & thanks for the pictorial. Love to see these old wood guitars brought back to a new play date down the road. Gives me some inspiration for my Pro III bought new in 1976!
James is a real asset and Sho~Bud guru as well as a great guy. I pray his health is improving

I talk to James a couple each day, and he's been feeling better each day. My prayers are with him each day!

Very,very good job Rick. It may have been a labor of love but still lots of hard work. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the process. I enjoyed very much. J.R.

Absolutely awesome! Who needs an new instrument when you see this? Wish I could have mine done this way and I'm pretty sure it sounds perfect.

You must be proud of that. I'm doing some work on my beautiful black lacquer MSA 12 - it is hard work but I love making the parts look new and play well - nice that we have this forum to show off to someone who cares. Any estimate of how many hours you put into this?

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I am very happy with how it turned out and how it plays.

Thanks. Bill, I probably have well over 100 hours in it, BUT this is my first refurb so I took my sweet time. A pro could probably turn this around in a week ...
