That originally had a jt-6 and swapped with a schaller. Screw the 7 string, you have a rare find there. Congrats.

Yeah, I have the remains of the JT-6 in bags in the case

[Catharpin]

PICS or it didn't happen!

[Gartron]

Congrats on a great looking guitar , the clouds are done really well on the paint job!

[Banjowarrior]

I took the opportunity to take the strings off and get in about everything. The pickups are J-100 single coils and a J-50B Humbucker

The graphic with the trem out of the way

All nice and tidy in the control cavity


I tried to get shots of the stamp in the trem cavity without taking the claw off

Gave the neck a quick clean with lighter fuel and lemon oiled it. The frets are a bit work but I think there's enough there for a dress rather than a refret.

That axe is in very nice condition for an '88... Congrats!

[Banjowarrior]

The remaining parts. The JT-6, which seems to be complete apart from the arm and errr... arm hole.
A little machine screw that looks like it belongs to the Schaller trem that's in the guitar, a nut that I presume is related to the missing arm hole, and a couple of washers. I suppose the washers could be covers for the post holes, but those are already in place.

Thanks to Dave at fretsonthenet a set of alloy cavity covers and a Schaller arm and socket for the JT6 are one the way.
Sadly he doesn't have the replacement trem posts or locking pads for the string lock at the nut anymore.

That's a beautiful guitar and a sweet graphic! Use to have an '89 BC Rich WarSlinger in Dan Lawrence "Lightning Sky". One of my favorite graphics.

[Bminor]

Very nice!
