    Good thread SPT. That 62 looks well cared for (but I wouldn't expect any less from you). I sure wish I had one of the square-head rosewoods in my stable.

    As close as I can come is my '79 D60SW
    Solid Ovangkol back and sides
    Solid Spruce top
    Maple binding
    Bone nut and saddle (stock)
    Ovangkol pickguard (under the lacquer)

    It's had some repairs and I still need to do some neck work on it but it's still a real nice fiddle. Beautiful sound.

    Look what ya did now. I took it off the wall and dusted it off, now I've got treat it to a new set of strings and play it.

    Nice ones SPT. Mine are both Martin style pegheads, which are definitly the high end Yamaki builds and great guitars. I'm not sure about the V style pegheads, I haven't come across any info stating that they are, though I know from those that own them, they are great guitars as well.
