I don't believe those tuners are original. But, those bridges never stayed in tune so maybe the locking tuners helped. Just the tuners, pickups, bridge, case and plastic knobs are worth $850, or at least were. He doesn't show a picture of the case though.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Except for that one long scar, the paint looks to be in really good shape however, I'm a bit leary about the neck joint 🤔... it's brittle lacquer so the neck may have been stressed at some point causing the paint to flake off?

Those have great pickups!.. the tuners are really hard to come by with all the locking screws still in place 

Too bad. It's local pickup only 😪

Oops, just read that the neck has been reset at one point... still, a great candidate for a refin or a relic job

Yes indeed.  "Hamerlock" tuners were available on some models fitted with Sustainblock trems in '82-'85, before Floyds and Kahler took over.

Neck reset is a major red flag. Who did that, how they did it, why they did it? I’d say regular price for the guitar that went thru such a transformation.
