    Never thought of it as root beer ! Pretty funny, that expression anyway. I always think that's the beer you have before you score a root.

    now all you need is a firebird pick up, a p 90, some black paint and a bigsby.

    GREAT SCORE!

    That sunburst is so timeless. I never get tired of looking at a good tri-burst! Plus, it's an R8...the necks on those are just right IMO...nice and thick. Big neck = big tone. :D

    I agree on the neck comment 50's necks are awesome. I love that fat chunky neck.

    The color is awesome and that's a very lovely plain top.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    beautiful guitar. sorry about the circumstances. but, if you were fond of him, the guitar will always remind you.

    Awesome... best guitar, best color... I can only imagine how it sounds. Nice grab!

    Damn. At 14, you have nicer/more gear than I will probably own in my life. Very nice guitar and sorry to hear about your grandfather.

    This is one of the best reasons to love great guitars, they last for decades, and become heirlooms. You have shown a lot of taste and foresight for a 14yr old, either that or you are a born magpie !!!

    I thought I might throw this one up as well, found it while looking for a 1960 re-issue.
