Greg, when are you going to learn to do quality work like this?

Just when you think you've seen it all...

WTF? The e string isn't even over the fretboard!

dem00n · 08-15-2012, 10:14 PM

Fix the headstock and work it, come on...you know it doesn't get better then this.

EvLectric · 08-15-2012, 10:37 PM

Oops! Brilliant! I really need a new keyboard.

Man, it hurts to zoom in on that neck repair. It's like a burn victim.

thats nasty

WinterOrb · 08-16-2012, 11:55 AM

I feel like if I were to touch that I would probably need some kind of shot to cure whatever disease I would catch.

pineder · 08-16-2012, 04:33 PM

That would be awesome if the neck repair was legit.

Hairless_Ape · 08-16-2012, 06:17 PM

WTSh!t???

cherrick · 08-17-2012, 12:21 PM

Get on it, mate. The pickups are worth $1500.

djrussell · 08-18-2012, 04:13 AM

In all seriousness if you knew what you were doing you could probably repair that... but it looks like its been sitting in a dump for about 50 years, so then again... its probably got mould growing on the inside or something.

jcsk8 · 08-18-2012, 12:13 PM

That's is sad.

VintageGuitarGuy · 08-18-2012, 12:21 PM

Who in the name of all that's holy would bid $898 for that????

At least Gibson guarantees it against defective materials and workmanship.....

And the ad called the p-90s "humbucking pickups" grrrrr

theNARDdog9 · 08-18-2012, 07:32 PM

Man, that would be a FUN project. I would love to have the chance to restore that to its former glory.

skelingtony · 08-23-2012, 09:10 PM

Wow, thats not a relic, thats a guitar thats just been exhumed!

Could be a fun project: repair work needed - stake, holy water, burial at crossroads...
