Ok, as promised: PICS!
Front of body:
Back of neck (dig that Birdseye):
The logo (note the edges):
The neck heel and pocket:
End of the neck:
The neck plate:
The Hackjob shots:
Conclusion: Originally a v-trem, some dipsh1t put on a Kahler, then another (same?) dipsh1t hacked a Floyd route into it.
The neck was either not meant for this body or was NOS when it was put on (never drilled), because there's a gap on the bass side of the neck equal to the overhang on the treble side.
Pickups are a Screamin Demon in the bridge, and a Custom Custom in the neck. Neck pickup route was definitely not original, but it's pretty clean. Same guy shoulda done the trem route.
Despite the crooked trem and the off-center neck mount, it intonates properly and plays just like the Blue/Yellow Star at NAMM - same neck profile and thickness and all that [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
