I love the neck. Before I got the guitar it was my job to try to sell it, I always described the neck as
"holding a little wooden angel" as for the frets, no idea. The only history I know about it is one day somebody needed some cash more than a Mosrite.And that was well before I started working there. After that I did exactly what I was hired to do .. make sure it went to a loving home where it will be nurtured and appreciated. :mrgreen:

Heh. Thanks for the story, How would you describe the sound compared to other Hollow-Bodied guitars?

Ok, so after a week of "getting to know you" time I took my Celeb3 to my trusted music shop to get set up, shimmed and the bridge p/up cover reattached. AND as the icing on the cake there was a Celebrity 3 AND a spare hunk of w/bl/w Pick guard material there!!!! so Leo ( my ever so able go to guy for all things I wouldn't dare touch on a guitar) traced the pick guard and is making one for mine so I can scrap that 335 style that's on it!!! now all I'll need is the Trem arm and it looks like the Forums own Mr.Bob Shade is able to cover that department!! ohhh happy day! ! :D :D :D

I like how things can go like that, Working so well.

True Story: The thought came to me to re-paint my Ventures II white and name it "Gabriel" or "Gabrielle". Some months later I found a Mark V (Same body style) that was re-painted white for sale and what do I see at the bottom of the page? Something similar to "Please contact sales manager Gabriel with any questions!"
