I didn't want to say anything until she arrived. Y'all remember what happened to the last Centura I bought.![]()
Last Friday I won this beauty on ebay:
A Benedetto floating pickup was added, and a luthier later made a larger pick guard to include both volume and a tone pot.
Now, she was shipped via UPS, even though I offered to pay the extra to ship her USPS. I would love to tell you UPS got it right this time. But they didn't.![]()
Fortunately, the only damage was that the glue gave where the pick guard was glued to the support brace. No biggie, it's something I can fix myself, AND I WILL. I WILL NOT LET UPS GET THEIR FILTHY HANDS ON THIS BEAUTY AGAIN.
Otherwise, she is mint. We're in Houston right now without my camera. But give me a few days and we'll have pics.
