MY D'Aquisto Centura
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.
