J185-4Me Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, here's a do-it-yerself project: rebuild a guitar from the ground up! Ummm, yeah. The auction is right here, listed as a '50s J-50. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 New set of strings and it'll be good as new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooboo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 New set of strings and it'll be good as new! I disagree.. That bridge could probably use a good setup. Strings might be a little too low for a good sound. But I'm not a luthier or anything, so don't take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Doesn't it look like someone changed the bridge at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooboo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Definitely looks like someone removed the original block bridge for an upside down mustache like the Songwriter/CL series. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I saw it when it was first listed. He had an opening bid of 49.99 and a buy-it-now of $150. I'd bid but it would just end up as a wallhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bid but it would just end up as a wallhanger. I thought it would be most appropriate to become a clock. Or maybe a barometer. Or a mirror. Yeah, I like the mirror!

davenumber2 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How does a guitar even end up looking like this? Someone throw it out of a moving car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I suspect sometime someone thought they could take the neck off and use it on another body so they extricated it with no regard for the carnage that would ensue on the old body.
