Howdy. Yesterday my son gave me a wedding present (he is getting married - why me?)
1963 Dano Convertible. It is really clean. Has a Curtis Novak lipstick pickup. The action is low, frets great, and the neck straight. Haven't plugged it in yet.
The only minus is the bridge which just sits on its 3 screws and easily moves around. I think I'll do a mod to secure it without actually modding the original guitar:
The bridge screws protrude almost 1/8" from the bottom of the bridge. I'll get a thin piece of wood, drill thru hole or just depressions corresponding to the screw locations. Then using thin double-stick tape, secure the wood to the body in the right place to get good intonation.
What do you think? Is thin double-stick tape even available?
Anyway, it was sweet of him to give it to me!
