"Despite sharing the 175's shape, this older guitar is 100-percent acoustic. When I bought it, it was completely butchered," says Porter, "three coats of house paint on it, pictures of the Beatles, and "All You Need Is Love" painted on the back. But I love these guitars, so I sent it back to London with Dick Knight [luthier, Knight Guitars], who refretted it, sprayed it black, and put binding in the f-holes like a junior L5. Plus he added the L5 pickguard."
