"Has an old head crack repair"
Spendy?? Good one! His decimal point is in the wrong place. :lol:
The headstock was accidental, but the pickup was intentional and for that someone should be beaten. Otherwise it WAS a really cool guitar that - in original condition - would have warranted the asking price.

Hit like before I saw the " mod ". Wish I could take it back. 
What a shame. Someone deserves a spanking over that one.
If I had the wherewithal, I could learn to live with it.
Of course, I'd have to find a pickup that was properly aged to fit in with the other pups and the aged color scheme.
Do you suppose that putting the xtra pup where it is(off center) was an attempt to recreate the 3bar pickup from the Prototype?

Yeah, it's a shame but the "modification" doesn't bother me as much as a Kahler would, for example.
I bet you could even paint that pickup and mounting ring to match the graphic and it would just about disappear.

Looks like it's taken on a few dinks since I had her (the dink on the front on the white "tooth" by the bridge PUP was there when I got her, but the sides and back were pretty untouched from my recollection)...
