Could you imagine making your first trip to the dentist at age 39? Thats essentially what happened with this 1972 Telecaster.

1975 Miguel Rodriguez 'Church Door' classical guitar

A true museum quality guitar - A Miguel Rodriguez Church Door. It is owned by renowned classical guitarist Susan McDonald, and for the first time in years she allowed someone to give it some much needed attention.

One of the perks of my job is that sometimes I get to work on some really awesome guitars. Case in point - the 235th Jackson Randy Rhodes ever made.
