Here is an old one we retopped in our shop
The Hack that finished it filled in the round hole with mahogany & routed the
pickups
This was an ebay special that had gotten robbed out of the factory 15 years
earlier.
Typical ebay Scam !!!!
Below is what we did to it after Rick was kind enough to sell me a pickup
system.
Which he has only done for me once. He was even nice enough to give me the
decals.
Rick didn't feel the present owner should be penalized any more
He had already been duped by the Ebay maggot he bought it from.
The guitar above was actually owned by a famous guitarist who shall remain
nameless.
The amazing coincidence is that Rick was his room mate in college in the 60's
In the end it cost the owner more than a new one
Be careful of ebay !!!! It's a Mecca for thieves, scuzzballs & of course
maggots
Stripped Down All Mahogany Model $3,395.00
