    Daft thing is he lived in Newark which is home to one of the world foremost luthiery schools and any number of guys would have done a pro level job on that for beer money!!

    'Condition: Fair'.

    I think 'Fucked' is significantly more accurate.

  • Worst thing is that I'm looking for an American Vintage and some bellend does that to it! Life is a cold, hard place, sometimes.

    Not only the horrific route but the general Condition of it is terrible, he's clearly been making an effort to damage it "whilst gigging"  that's not normal wear thats just silly.

    "Natural relic".

    "Upgrade".

    "£800."

    There's a lot to consider right there.

    Oh, also:

    "these upgrades cost me a few hundred pounds".

    It's about £100 for the pickups. I assume the rest of the money went on PCP.

    Did something similar with a 74 strat when I was about 18.  Blunt chisel and half an hour later I had a super distortion in there :)

  • If the price comes down, it could be a bargain for someone. If it plays and sounds nice anyway...

    You don't see the route, but it will make the guitar a hair lighter and maybe change the tone a bit. 

    The finish... Err yeah... I suppose it could be refinished :) again, could save someone a few quid over a new guitar still. 

    Good haggle needed.

  • If he'd do it for £600 it'd be tempting, but that's because I'd be budgeting for a refinish and for someone to sort out the shoddy routing job
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.
