A Harmony/Global SG Jr, rebuilt after many years on a the wall of a restaurant/bar near salt water. It had a lot of rust, grime and grease on it. Tuners and electronics were too corroded to be useable. The pickup is a P90 cut to fit into the original cover. It's now my favorite open G slide guitar.

We apparently have some things in common; I have three smaller parrots here and I've also been repairing/rebuilding guitars in my sparetime for the past few years. Two recent rebuilds: to the left my Ovation Deacon and to the right a friend's UKII.
Nice work Frank! I remeber a time when no self respecting guitar player would want to be seen anywhere near a 70's Japanese guitar :) In the end (too late in my case, I had already sold mine) we discovered that they were actually well-constructed and not that much inferior.
