Was the Nashville Amp thing in 2012?

I took this Max on trade in 2009 and the finish was tragedy. So ugly. I stripped the top, recarved it to match Scarface, then reshot.

Here is the fade.

I might redo the whole guitar just to complete the neck recarve.. but I might not touch the top.. thinking.

Yeah I think it looks hopeless, just send it my way and I'll 'dispose' of it for you

Yeah, refinish the whole damn thing and put some shiny new chrome hardware on there FFS. Looks like somebody's been playing it...

I did a bomb job though the neck needs a lil carving and the back always made me angry

some shitter did the original finish work not the guy he used before all this other stuff happened.. hmmm long story

Looks like I love it as-is.

Nashville Amp Expo? If memory serves, didn't occur in 2012. I went to 2011, wanted to go to 2012. Irrelevant, other than - wow, were we possibly in the same building and I never met you?!? Hmm...

Can't agree more and I barely knew him. He knew I was working on a trainwreck and sent me parts for free...

That alone speaks volumes

(Others have done similar things here on this forum, it's full of excellent people like that)

Damn! Sorry I missed that. I do remember talking with at least one other member there... txbluesboy - Terry, from Longhorn Amps.

He's a great guy.
