saw one today with the pickguard off and it looked suspect.
The neck serial # is way different from the bodys serial # (not sure if that is normal or not) The neck has two different serial numbers on it.
Pickguard had an allparts sticker underneath.
Volume pot was used up. Resoldered, scratched up.
The body looked like it was black at one time, then re-sprayed seafoam green. Under the pickguard, there was a huge chunk of sfg paint stripped off near the ground screw. And had 3 circular divots in the treble side horn. I think those are machine marks to hold it down during some stage of the cnc process.
The pickup was all scratched up and corroded.
Bridge was odd. Saddles were unmarked (do they come with stamped saddles, I dont know) and looked older than the bridge.
The ebay listing (dont have it) stated "mint".
yeah, no.
Do these come relic'd? I have never seen one until today and I know nothing about them.
Neck was good, though!
My friend is obviously sending it back because it is obviously jacked and has bad vibes.
What is the route like on these badboys?
I kinda wish it was in better condition, so he would keep it.
The neck is sweet!
... and I like the idea of a hardtail, one bridge hb, one pot, 70s headstock,maple neck, rosewood fretboard with jumbo frets strat in Seafoam green.
I would almost prefer a rear rout, so you could have it with no pickguard.
yum.
sorry, I didnt think to take pics. :smack:
But again:
What kind of route, fellas? What do they come with from the factory?
