Happy Birthday Amber!

[DetroitBlues]

Amber left the factory on this date in 1985.  I was able to access the truss rod and set her right.

She made her first stage appearance since 2010.  She sounded amazing.

Sweet!  Mine is a somewhat later 140, with a lighter shade of natural maple top.  Absolutely wonderful guitar!

Here’s a little video of her last night.

HB Amber.  Such a nice, young age.  They’re so cute when they’re 40.

Access to the truss rod nut was a challenge.  Typical sockets and wrenches didn't fit.  I didn't want to use pliers, but I found a nut driver that had thin enough walls to turn the nut.  Worked perfectly and turned very easily.  I was happy it did.  I also put an API Nashville bridge and tailpiece on it that was provided to me.  Polished the frets, lubricated the nut, and cleaned the fretboard.  She is ready to go.  Played her again last night learning some new tunes for another band that plays more hard rock stuff.
