I read that Leo used pine to be economical, and the dings were coming back, so the salesmen convinced him to destroy all of the pine bodies and make them from poplar, alder, and later swamp ash. Like PEWEE Herman used to say, "Salesmen!!".

Yea , what a waste .

Retro is definitely where it's at. The NAMM show I see that Fender has 2 new amps that are all tube and look like 50's radios - Pawn Shop Specials - the Excalibur, and Greta. Old is new all over again.

Because old is equated with quality , that plus the old stuff looks cool

Hi Iain , thanks , I drilled for the jack cup , I just went by eye with the best pic I had of a reissue , but it seems to me that it's pretty close to being in the same place as the one on the T. Downs drawing .
