Finally in a playable state

. . . even if it won't win many prizes for its looks :)

This is certainly not new, I bought it years ago, stripped it down, reshaped it and added some flame veneer to the top.

Then I left it gathering dust for years before recently putting it back together with some newer wiring, a cheap locking nut from China and an old Kahler bridge someone gave me (also many years ago). I haven't bothered to finish the body so the top just has a bit of red stain on it and it's clear that it's made from plywood

The single-coil shaped pickups are quite dark, so I'm guessing they might be humbuckers, but I don't know.

It's a real lash-up just for use at home as it's the only guitar I've got without a fixed bridge, but it sounds ok for what it is :)

    Aha... a Kahler 2700! I haven't seen one of those for about 25 years. That's an extremely rare trem now.

  • Charvette! I had one for a while. It was the most comfortable guitar I ever used. The pickups were poor (uneven output), so I was going to 'fix it up'. A bandmate persuaded me to part with it before that happened. 

    Nice job!
