Can a US-1 headstock be reshaped to a vintage correct shape? I can't tell just by looking at it.
Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts/pics!

You can shape it into a early Broadcaster with not much problem and get it very close to most '52-'53 era's but it is a little small for most of the modern ones. Thanks for asking! Tommy.

I just recontoured an SSV US-1 and it is gorgeous. I was a bit anxious about it, and I shouldn't have been. Great Tadeo result, real nice "sweet
spot" as 0le Fuzzy calls it. Clear gloss nitro, no tint mist this time, just luminous maple.
I'll try and come up with some nice pictures. Thanks, Tommy.

older ya'll people gets colder
most of us only care about money-makin; selfishness got us followin the wrong direction wrong information always shown by the media; negative images is the main criteria infecting the [people's] minds faster than bacteria; [peeps] wanna act like what they see in the cinema |
