          I am pleased that this thing is back.

          SCGC Dread Cutaway from 1981, I received it in 1982. Craftily constructed by Bruce Ross and Richard Hoover “ Otis B. Rodeo”, it has been through the mill with a new neck, three neck resets and refrets, but it sings like only an old lady who, while wrinkled, still has a clear voice and lots of charm.

          Built of Brazilian with a four piece back and Sitka top, the tapered braces give it a smooth, glorious tone while the bass is balanced without being over powering.

          I will shoot pictures when I return home soon.

            I had a ‘59 Les Paul Special with Soap Bars. It had no hum, only great tone. My ‘58 3/4 size Les Paul Jr. is a different story. The hum is omnipresent. I just live with it.
