this went for $500, and there was another cherry burst one that went for $395

Hopefully the Cherry Burst just needs a little TLC :wink:

Cherry burst arrived.
Needs nut, tailpiece/bridge, TRC, strings, screw holes repaired to fit normal screws. finish has lots of cracking, but is really nice looking.
it had chrome dome knobs on it, which will be replaced with correct RIC style knobs, and I just happened to have a finger rest that fit the stock holes!

That Corsair is just like mine. Thumb rest holes below the strings and holes for the chrome pu/string cover on top and bottom of the bridge pu. If you need a tracing of the trc let me know. I don't know if traditional Ric knobs are correct for it. They are not on mine, but I am not the original owner and can't confirm what was stock. Good luck with another project!

Yeah, they would have had the ric style knobs originally. I have a trc with my 2279 project which I may use on this and use a customer one on it since it's gonna be a bit custom anyway.
