Legrande II repainted

Post by Billy Knowles »

had my Legrande II SD10 repainted while I was out for surgery. Had it painted like the first ZB I ever saw Tom Brumley play. Thanks to Bob Littleton for painting it for me.

Wonderful, Billy. Love the two-tone finish. Do you have a "before" photo for comparison?
