thank you for that information. The guitar does show some "yellowing" in areas. It is hard to see on camera. As for originality, I agree that there is some other color lurking underneath. I believe if it was refinished it was a very long time ago. The guitar does not have a shiny finish coat. Its very satin like in appearance. It has been re-fretted and plek'd (after I purchased it) and plays like a dream. When it was in the shop the tech told me that the original frets were very low from the factory so I asked him to replace them with as close to original as possible. I have read this to be the case in other G&L guitars though I am not an expert. It has been my main live guitar along with the SC-2 pictured above (that guitar has been refinished by a previous and it has jumbo frets). This is exciting!! It is fun to nerd out on all of this stuff together. I will try to take some photos of the wear when I get home. It may lend some more clues to this instruments history. As for the scraping, I wish I was comfortable enough to pull that off as for now I will leave that as is.
