Pinky is back, My balls reunited!

[lessthanone]

well, went and picked up my pink evh this weekend finally. They did such an amazing job! I also found out how impossible it is to photograph the pink color even with a good camera...

Congrats, beautiful guitar! Nice Find!

 

[lessthanone]

Thanks dude, im glad i didnt sell it. This one is a keeper! Cant get the color to come out right in pics though, I'll try some outdoor pics at some point. Condition wise now she is probably a solid 8.5, and totally unfaded at the moment. Very pleased in how much noll guitars was able to clean it up

can't see the photos in work and will takea look tonight when I'm back in the hotel.

Out of interest what in your opinion stops pinky from being a 10/10?

Cheers

They are great at Noll , I have been going there for 20 years or so. Right now I am having my 77 les Paul deluxe completely redone and they are doing an amazing job. It's amazing how good Jim is at what he doesn't even look like he same guitar anymore it looks like it just coming out of the factory.
Your guitar looks great they did an awesome job on that too.

what did you have done?

 

[lessthanone]

I had 2 tiny dings on the front filled. I also had it wet sanded and buffed. I got it from the original owner and like me, he was very meticulous with the care of his guitars. He polished them after every use which will leave alot of polish swirls after 19 years. I have a bigger version of my avatar pic on here and you can see the swirls on the front reflecting the light. He got pretty much all of it out front and back. I dont think the original owner actually used this one alot, aside from the neck being darker than a new axis, there no wear or built up grime. Plus the unfaded pink says it was probably cased more often than not.

I would consider a 10/10 a NOS case queen. This one had a couple tiny dings which were filledand still has a little polish marks on the back and the case is beat. All things considered though, its unfaded all original with almost no fretwear/neckwear. I say a solid 8.5 because it is an excellent condition player

 

[ozzyrules]

Just curious, is there any way that they could apply a UV protectant clear coat to prevent fading?

 

[aleclee]

Am I the only one who likes faded guitars?

 

[lessthanone]

Sorry dude, no one wants faded evh's

 

[megaroel]
