He did good work filling the neck pup cavity.
Story is that a previous owner tried to route it for a hum in the neck, and screwed it all to hell. So he filled it, cut a wicked scoop, and sprayed it black. The refin isn't bad: it has some dings and scrapes, but has held up pretty well.
Here is what he said he did to fill the pup hole:
"i make a template of the hole to be filled and cut three 1/4 inch peices of maple to the template and glue(gorilla glue) them in one by one to eliminate air pockets. i then use a mixture of epoxy and plastic wood for filling small areas and edges"
I can't see any signs of shrinkage.
Looks like the rear covers were homemade, and not very pretty. Original paint was green? He also filled the original volume pot hole, and drilled another. Wish he hadn't, but oh well.
Auction ended at $207 with hard case, and $35 to ship. He put new strings on it, and for once (for me) the trem is set up correctly. Has a Gototh licensed Floyd: that was added later, right?
Pics are large, and not very good. And I need to vacuum the carpet.
