Yeah it’s the definition of ‘player grade’, the neck is straight and the truss rod seems to work, but it needs a refret more than any guitar I’ve ever seen.
Considering the price and condition I’m not too concerned with a genuine restoration, I just want to build it into a cool, playable instrument. Regarding the pedigree, I’m mostly just curious, right now it’s kind of an oddity and like I said there’s some things that don’t make sense. I’ve never seen an SG with trap inlays and no binding, and the neck is really slim. I wonder if someone removed the binding and reshaped the neck, or if it’s a new one altogether since the headstock looks like it’s been fully removed at some point. Just trying to see if anyone can help with the mystery....
