Very enjoyable clip Geoff. I have a soft spot for these, too. It is very upsetting when l see them converted to X - bracing on here. It ceases to be a beautifully tone Sovereign IMHO. I am currently on my 3rd restoration. I have learned on the NET that they started script lettering in 63 & used a short backing plate under the bridge till sometime in 65, when it was modified to go from side to side across the lower bout. I have found this to be true in my cases. It may help to date them. The one l am keeping happens to be made with a 4 piece top...it is the best l have heard in my limited experience. They are glorious guitars, especially on the upper strings. Too many guitars have a booming bass that just drowns out the beauty of higher melody picking. I like to chord & pick the melody overtop, when l can. Also remember....the back is made from a single piece of mahogany. This still blows me away😮

Ryan, this one has sold. I try to get my hands on as many H1260s as I can, as they are just great sounding guitars. But they never last long in the store. Check back, often. I'm always adding something cool.
