Notes
Uncle Larry visits with the boys at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville TN on a lovely spring day

After a world class refret by Greg Voros, this old 65 Guild S-200 Thunderbird went from playing like a log wagon to being one of the best playing guitars I have.
I am ABSOLUTELY STUNNED by the complete transformation.
