I can't wait to hear your thoughts on her now....Looking forward to living vicariously though you...LOL

I have been playing this 285 makeover for about a week now and out of all the LP's I own this is by far the best. What Kim at HS did made it resonate so unbelievably it is unlike anything I have tried. The new bonding, truss rod and new Brizilan fretboard has taking this guitar to levels I have never even dreamed. I intend on sending more to Kim next year.

Congrat's on the Makeover... Did you leave the finish the same or age it? 
I have seen the step by step meticulous work Kim does and I am absolutely blown away........ I guess it's not much of a secret around these parts, that Kim has done work for Joe.  I have spoke to Kim and have considered this work, It is , however pricey, I'm sure it's worth every penny.  Again, best wishes, and use  #285HM in good health.... take care......(P.S. my biggest fear is shipping!)

The JB#285 was originally aged once i saw the finish I ask Kim to keep it unaged. As far as shipping that was not an issue. Yes pricey but worth every penny. Thanks for the response.

Thanks Jim, and may I say it's good to "see" another smiling face.  Some forums operate more like a private club, you really never know whether you are welcome or not.....
