NGD thought I would share

Doesn't look like a record lp

Perhaps a machine gun?

Nope, even better, I dig pink don't you?

OOOOOOOFFFFFFF 2001 tobaccoburst Standard

This warrants a closer look...

Yowza

Perfect fret and binding job, very comfortable on the ends

Low action, no buzz goodness over the Nashville bridge

Dig the burst at the heel

Frontside glamour shot, damn reflections

The back...

Headstock front

Back

With her slightly chunkier older sister Norlinina born in 1981 :laugh2:

The 496R/500T pup combo really make this Lester growl with authority. If I close my eyes, I hear a near clone to my old '80 blonde e/2 Explorer

The one piece neck is beyond great, 60s profile, fast as greased chicken****

Now excuse me while I go rub one out because I have a boner that will pierce rock :burnout:

Re: NGD thought I would share

Did someone put covers on the 496/500? cos they certainly never come that way, nor stock on Standards-only the 1960 Classic. You sure they are not the 498/490?

BTW- great plaintop, and great wine red too. Love 'em both. Congrats,.

Just checked, my mistake and you are correct, they are 490/498

The back...

Very cool guitar. I like that little dark patch area where the neck meets the body.

I love the grain on that, that's the way bursts should be. Beautiful guitar!
