I just got my hands on the guitar for the first time today... and I've got to say I'm completely STUMPED.
First things first... this beast is TRUE HOLLOW with an extra "board" glued under the top on which the pickups rests. (Also... no idea how that pup is mounted in there... but I can't pull it out!!)
Next... I pulled the "Valco" Pickguard... and yeah, its straight-up Supro.... but that aside, it looks like there used to be TWO F-HOLES on top!! The treble-side f-hole has been butchered to accomodate the pickguard and eletronics.
The neck is set... and set well... the heel is flush and smooth against the body... though it has been re-finned black (you can scratch it to reveal the original blue underneath)... and its a baseball bat neck... Bound fretboard... thumbnail markers... Grover sta-tite tuners (arranged asymmetrically)...
Pics are coming, guys!... but until then, just picture that guitar body up above with symmetrical f-holes... any ideas?!?Statistics: Posted by Michael Ambrose — Thu Oct 16, 2008 7:14 pm
