Looks like a replacement pickup switch, but nothing really matches up with any of the hollow bodies in the index. One volume, one tone? And look at those three-piece f-holes. Weird.

It looks like a Pacific Coast Mustic (PCM) Electra. PCM's are poorly documented.

It looks like the same single coil pick ups and floating bridge as on the first run Hondo's. The tuners look like the same style too. The pick guard is gone. If I had the cash, I'd but it. If those old pick ups are in good shap they sound great on a good amp.

The auction states that the neck is "warped". However, when asked to describe the warp the seller explains it as a backward bow. Prima facie, the neck doesn't look warped, anyone want to place a bet it just has a bed setup? (I know a bow can be difficult to see, but let's be serious; the seller is an ebay auctioneer....)

Did anybody see what it went for? If it was somebody here tell us about the neck.
