            Awesome man, just awesome! Now can you explain to me the serial? Is it as simple as it may seem? The 7 is the year and then...

                7 indicates year and the others are build sequence numbers.

                  Nice, I always loved the TV finish ones the most, but that is still one I would love to have!

                  That finish makes me think of Gary Moore in Thin Lizzy...

                  Edit - Doh! I just realized after all this time that Gary's was a Melody Maker!

                          Roy at RSguitarworks did a fabulous job replacing the first 8 frets on my 57 Jr.
                          He had the proper fret wire on hand which was lucky because its some tiny ass wire and hard to come by.
                          Billy C. laid down a super set up on her and she plays like a dream.
                          Played it about 4 hours last night and couldn't put it down.
                          The P 90's from the 50's are magical, warm,clear and creamy when you want, down right gritty with just a roll of the volume knob.
                          The bond is there with this one no doubt.

                            Awesome. Enjoy that one they definitely have mojo from those days, just from having access to better older growth wood.
