Just restoring a (supposed - serial number obliterated due to previous refinish) 1969 ES 125TDC.
Previous owner had scratch sanded the body and rattle canned it black.
I have stripped it best I can and sprayed a burst which hides a multitudes of sins but still looks age appropriate.
The wiring harness has me intrigued as the pick ups are a pair of P90's wired out of phase with metal covers and typically the images I have found are with black cover.
They sound great but I am wondering if these are original to the guitar.
