Extreme Relic Sh*te

I think you're right. The logo, two string trees and I think I counted 22 frets!

21 frets. Seventies-inspired headstock decal and string guides, Gotoh 'heads, no bullet truss rod adjuster = MIJ.

To be fair the listing did say that the neck was from a 72 RI (I thought they made a 71, not really important)

The neck actually looks nice. I don't really get why they priced it so high other than they thought they'd chance it.

It's a pretty sad sight, OTM is not a common colour on these & the Bigsby makes it more unusual. Someone like @lonestar could probably still make something good out of it yet. Though pretty difficult to blend in the damage on the binding with something realistic.

At least it has somewhere to put the false teeth .

Dentures are probably what was used to apply the patina.

The guitar should be cool - get it for say £600/650 and get a seriously cool refin on it and it should be fine

For an MIJ... in that condition?  Sounds a bit high to me.

Think the Time Team might have had a hand in that

I think it was a team effort.
