Monacosis Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Here is the latest casualty in my quest to simplify down to one guitar and this one hurts the most. I am the original owner and this was my number one for most of the last ten years, but I just don't play the kind of music this guitar was made for anymore. This guitar has been played and gigged. Issues: * It took a fall (one month after I bought it!) from a stand, resulting in finishing chipping on both sides of the neck joint. That is the extent of the damage. (See pic.) * Overzealous groupie carved a cryptic message on the back. whilst I was occupied elsewhere. I sanded it out and I am pretty sure the spot (size of a quarter) is totally fixable (see pic). * Divot on the neck from an idiot singer that used it for a song. When will I ever learn? * Two small finish chips on headstock and lower horn. Several dings and dents, but typical for a player. * Hameritis. I rewired the controls so the Bridge volume is forward. There is a bit of scratchiness in the pots and the toggle. I added chrome covers to the stock JB and 59. It came with the usual Wilky wrap-around, that I filed string grooves into, but I just replaced the bridge with an aluminum Wilky wraparound (Thanks Hudpucker). Fretware is apparent in a few places (2nd fret) but normal. Case is in decent shape; stickers included at no charge. Great guitar, esp. through Marshalls. BTW, her name is Sugar. I am looking for $600 plus shipping to CONUS only. Will entertain reasonable offers from HFC members, but no trades at this time. I have more pics of the stuff mentioned above. Next stop: eBay. Mike
