This is a good example of how to watch what you buy. This same guitar is the one listed a few months ago that has the butchered up body route for the bigsby and at the time had the 2 holes for the jack connectors open. Buy it cheap throw on 2 jack covers and don't show any closeups and put a big price on it and make the description sound grand and see if an idiot buys it at an outrageous price. I am sorry but when I see this type of bad rep advertising it really sets me off. If you bought it as a project guitar to restore the please do so correctly and then sell it with a correct description as a fellow forum member does and list it in detail. This could be a nice candidate for restoration(even with the horrendous routing job) for the right person. Sorry if I am venting but I am just an honest person. Hope no one falls for this one but it is a great example of a retread guitar. :down: :down: :down:

Thanks for the comments - I'm looking for an Electra SG - didn't know this had a history. I'll keep looking.

I saw the CL post, but it's not a guitar that interests me. Or rather my budget does not allow me to be interested in that guitar. Today.

And-- I don't think I know him.
