1979 Greco Goldtop - Converted beautifully from stoptail & ABR to '54 style wraptail by Neil Ivison at Ivison Guitars. Thank you Neil, great job. It's playing and sounding really good now set up properly. Refinished and aged by Jon Crawford at Rexter Guitars. Now the guitar is put back together I am loving it more and more. Beautiful colour, subtle checking and nitro finish which will continue to age as I use it. Thank you Jon, fantastic job.
Difficult to get pics that do the guitar justice but here are a few.
Lastly huge thanks to my friend Glen Taylor aka Wishbones, unfortunately no longer with us, who incredibly kindly gave me the guitar. Hope you approve of the guitar as it is now Glen,I'm sure you do!

Stunning, absolutely love it.
Congrats.
What are your thoughts on the ABR vs wraptail? Does the guitar sound / feel significantly different?
Great to see it completed @hoops, enjoy in the finest of health

Who knew that D'Addario's could look so 'brash'?
Enjoy
It looks beautiful, wish I could hear/play it! That's often my major frustration after finishing guitars for people and sending them back - I rarely get to see the finished product in person.
Proud to have worked on this with two great blokes, yourself and @IvisonGuitars. Neil, thanks for your great work, hope we will do plenty more together in the future. Mainly I'm just so pleased to hear how happy you are with it Clive and think it's great that it will continue to bring joy and be a great tribute to you friend Glen.
Also @SteveRobinson - thanks again for the Crescent Bronze powders that I used.
