Which one of these is obviously wrong? Notice the dot inlays matching the headstock.

Virtuoso cleaner and Nomad polish with microfiber cloths did a pretty good job with a lot of arm work. Thanks for the replies. I think you have to jump through hoops to add a photo.

I’m thinking these are the original frets. The bottom ones are looking like nuts. The action is so low you could not use a pick. If I put new frets on, I am worried it will be totally different. Should I leave this thing alone?

I used virtuoso on this. The neck looks gorgeous. But all the black is smudgy and blemished. I’ve seen a lot of great tips on here with scotch pads and such. I cleaned it off and tried to buff it with a microfiber cloth. Does anyone know a great way to make this thing look better?

I don’t know what model this is. The serial number, 842656, came back with those years, which I expected. There is a cable connection at the bottom, and a microphone connected to a loose wire inside. It does respond to an amp.

This is actual road worn. $500 in 1990. It’s my only real possession. And it makes my shoulder sore now.

I had a 9 gauge string detune and pop out of the tuner twice in one day. Bill Baker has a YT channel and I used his technique:

Use the whole string (insurance). Bend first, down the hole, wrap a lock on one of the posts and wind around under it once, then use the winder.

First try it worked! I have heard of toothpicks and sticking a V shape into the hole as well. Cheers to Bill!

This finish is not one of the normal options. Is this a refinish or a special order? From Guitar Center.
