Look what you made me do:
The body seems flawless. Very few dings and such, the wood is left to be seen nowhere, the paint is intact. But the neck is another problem...
On the treble side, the laquer is almost all gone.
The scarf headstock joint doesn't seem to be holding too well...
And the 12th fret has some er... wood missing:
And the side dots are starting to wear off
My take is that the guitar has been refused a lot of TLC on the neck side. The strings were VERY old, I have .105 now (between .10 and .11: the low E is a .48) but I should have used .09s which have less tension since the headstock seems damaged [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ah well... Time only will tell.
So... what do you guys think this one needs? I liked the sound out of it (though I tried it on a Vox AC30, might be why [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) but the neck worries me. For the price I paid for it, I can't really complain though so it's all good. I just hope to save it.
