Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?

I can happily say the OP was seeing what she thought she was seeing.

The serial is in fact 0227, FR installed was obviously aftermarket, but professionally done...not a hack job by any means. Aside from the hardware replaced by the term components, all appears to be original. Octave dots are absolutely narrow spacing, but I'm pretty sure the side dots are wide spacing.

She's going to need some TLC, but the price left some room for that :)

Glad I wasn't seeing things. And so happy that someone who will give it the care it needs managed to grab it. Can't wait to see how it looks after it's all prettied up.

Congrats!

Congrats to what I hope is, or will again be, a killer 4-digit Standard.

Now that is a nice score!!!! The anvil alone is worth the $200. The firewood, I would be happy to take off your hands......LOL

Early narrow dots! Testing out the new look in the first half of 79 or a custom request?

Best of luck with the restoration.

Nice one Cynic.

Wasn't Zorrow looking for a Chrome Floyd ?

Sell that off and taking into account a flightcase has got to be worth $200.00 the seller has paid you to take it away !!

Got to be the best deal I've seen for a long time here or anywhere else regardless of the cost to get it restored.

Actually, might be worth just tidying it up keeping the Floyd (plenty of Floyd love around) and you'd still have a shitkicking Black 4 Digit.

Nice score, Cynic! The best part of this is the high probability that another 4-digit will be made whole again and the pool will increase further. That is a trend that I have noticed in vintage motorcycle circles, and now in guitar land as well. Us older cats who revere these pieces that have been seen as utility (or junk) items are taking the time to restore them to former glory, thus enabling the next generation to become fully aware of what they have missed out on.

Please keep us in the loop if you decide to have that one massaged a bit.

Until the next cycle, when they re-discover the Floyd Rose trem........

May I be the first to suggest a B/W Zebra finish?

Working on my Floyd rediscovery this month - but I don't know. It was not good last night.

It's Friday. Pour a whiskey and forged about it.
