ASAT swirl and Birdseye Maple

Post by green swirl »

That's an awesome combination. Now you need a green leather strap!

That is sweet. Swirls are among my favorites and I had never seen the Green before. Thanks for posting.--Darwin

Hey louis cyfer: I used the 'Img' box you see when posting. What do I have to do to make full size image. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Green Swirl,

It just so happened that the filename you used for every picture starts with 'th_', hence referring to the thumbnails. All you needed to do is leave that part off.

Hope this helps,

That's my favourite colour for bowling balls. :lol:
I never thought a guitar could look so good imitating a bowling ball finish. A real beauty. :thumbup:

On photobucket, view the photo you want to post by clicking on the thumbnail photo in your album. When that photo displays,
look for the "Image Links" section (right hand side of page) for the Direct Link and click on the link. This will copy the
image url to your clipboard. Now go to the post editor on the G&LDP and then paste that link between the Img BBCode tags
in the editor. Preview the post to make sure the inline photo shows and then Submit the post.

Hope this helps.

I have also been able to find a gree metallic swirl paint job that according to the tape on the front of the case, this was Malcolm McLamore's first attempt.

Epistrat,

That's a really interesting guitar you have. I'd love to hear the story behind it. That bridge had to be from the very first batch made for the F-100 in 1980.

Please consider starting a new thread to discuss this!

+1 !

I have a hunch that it's LEG in the neck pocket ( for Legacy ), I've seen that designation before.
... no doubt about it being a NAMM/Dale ax.

I couldn't tell if it was LEO or LEG, but I did get a response from Craig Dewey saying that it was a Legacy and I am still waiting for more info from Dave McLaren.
