brianh Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 That's a bolt on Junior with upgraded tuners, a P90 of some sort, and a mismatched but perfectly serviceable neck plate. It's also got a non-stock Leo Quan type compenstated bridge. In short it has all the upgrades needed to make it a very playable and great sounding guitar. At L65, that a great deal, somone should snag it post-haste. If it turns out that pickup is a Gibson, SD, Lollar or some other name brand, then it's thievery. Cheerio, Bob's Your Uncle and all that rot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I dont know if anyone noticed, or if it matters, but it also has a Special neck on it, not a Junior neck. Its probably the same neck for all intents and purposes, but it doesnt say 'Junior' on the headstock. Also, someone did a real bang-up job installing the tuners.

Albannach Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's got me interested in it! Even if it is a pig in a poke of a guitar, the parts alone more than equal the current asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SketchyEtchy Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 surprisingly a few people have bidded haha. but I reckon you can make your money back if you tear it to bits and sell it off seperatly. Ive seen special necks (UK) go for £60-80 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Pretty sure he's just rotated the PRS tuners to fit the set screws into the stock holes Thats what I thought at first, but the tuners on the left look exceptionally uneven. Could just be an optical illusion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Pretty sure he's just rotated the PRS tuners to fit the set screws into the stock holes Looks like the modder used the stock screw holes and left the old second holes unfilled. Fairly decent job, can't really do better without refinishing the back of the headstock at least. The tuners are worth maybe $35, the pickup (if it's a Gibson) $60, the bridge $25, pots, knobs, scratch and neck plates at least another $50, so $170 US in parts before counting the neck and body. If it plays well, would make a great beater for short coin for someone. BTW, where the heck is Llangadog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
