Looks like they tried to mod the Headstock - and did it poorly. Look at the size of the top two tuner holes.
Such a pretty guitar to muck it up, but if someone could make a new headstock, it may be worth a go.

Yea but the heastock is just the damage you can see. I would not buy this without a personal inspection.

Yea, Im thinking that this guitar wasnt always a blonde...methinks its a stripped Elvin ! Note the very low lustre almst matte finish

I'm waiting on some info from the seller. I want to fix this one. It all depends on the info I get back.

I'm pretty torn on this. I know I could fix the headstock but the finish looks......difficult. 5 ply binding on the headstock is also no piece of cake. If it was hands down a maple pro I might go for it but there seems to be something going on that makes me think this was an antique burst. I think I'm a little afraid and something tells me I should walk away.

Trust your instincts on this one I think. I would not care to take a chance on this one.

That's the sound of a hammer hitting a nail right on the head. I prefer that sound a lot more than the sound a hammer makes when it hits my head - which is probably what I would do to myself if I bought it.... so I have officially passed on this one. It was a close call for me but in the end, it was too much moolah and that voice in my head won out.
