I thought that was a reflection on the pickguard. But there Just ain't one
If you have had the use of it for 25 years'86/87 american that belongs to a buddy of mine. it was his guitar when we played in a garage band in high school. i borrowed it 25+ years ago and have had it since. antiquity ii firebird neck, a5 7.5k tele bridge pup i wound, 4 way switch, and a nice three saddle bridge. sounds great and plays pretty good.
its not my guitar so i didnt wanna rout the old guard or get a new one, i tried this as an experiment and its been this way for 10+ years. not sure why those pics look so washed out
