NGD!!! Finally got a Standard back in the group

[Bowtiefanatc]

So after years of hoping to get a Standard back in my hands I found an incredible early model. I worked out a 2 for 1 trade on my end for it and I’m so incredibly glad that I did. 1991 Standard 24 with Trem uproute. Brazilian rosewood board, Birds and I believe T&B pickups. I didn’t take the time to pull them to find out so that’s at a later time. Also go easy on my first ever winged tuner string change I don’t have proof, but this guitar supposedly was owned by Mr Howard Leese at some point. Even if that isn’t true it’s fan-freaking-tastic!

Howard Leese or not, that's a winner, congrats!

It has a couple dings. But considering its age it’s in really good shape. Plays incredibly smooth.

Nice!
Proper wing formation, too.

I made a trade with Hans a couple of months ago for a Fire Red ‘91 Standard. Seriously cool guitar. Big time congrats.

I had a 2008 (I think) years ago and sold it. The deal for this one worked out perfectly and I couldn’t be happier.

Oh man! What an awesome addition!

Great catch.
And nice string change.
Enjoy.

Wow! Save for the gold hardware and sweet switch, that's the spitting image of my 91 "Special"

Great catch!

I remember that one. Lusted over that one for awhile. I was showing it to Sergio before it arrived and he also mentioned that it was a Special because of the Trem uproute.
