Dude, I totally identify with how obsessed how one can feel once I discovered this incredible sleeper guitar, which I wondered in 2020… “Where the hell have you been & why am I just finding out about your beauty?!” Totally huge range of killer tones with stock pickups too🤘🏼
Nice tuxedo model. I still have one in a box (unopened) that I bought during Covid. But…. I have like 10 of these too. Make it better by replacing the nut, tuners, & do the Bubba mod🤘🏼
Nice yeah! I've since put a bone nut in this old 51 and will likely put a set of Kluson tuners in there I've had lying around for a decade. The bubba mod is a good idea for this ... I had considered a tele half bridge as well!
Drilling holes in a 6 saddle bridge to turn it into a 3 barrel bridge, to bring the old 3 brass saddles ashtray bridge to any fender style guitar. @-davidolivares
Agreed - in retrospect, I was kind of not thrilled with the gfs bridge pickup... Second gfs lipstick I've had and both have sounded dull and not at all chimey. The neck lipstick from Artec actually sounds way more like a lipstick pickup.
It’s got that sproing love it
I'll never lend away this old beauty again!
That looks bad-ass, glad that one is back where it belongs!
I'm glad the old girl finally came home... Even if everything was missing!

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a bubba mod?

I have one I bought pre modded with the bubba mod then, cool. Brass barrels look cool on the 51. Thanks bud.
@@nilesthromptonthe compensated brass barrel saddles are recommended for best intonation possible. Rock on. 🤘🏼
Don't like those GFS pickups just don't sound right, sorry.😢
