Couldn’t afford a full set of strings after spending all their money on parts and repairs.

Honestly, I’d be into this if it was closer to $600

ah, so Ricky duder had installed a Kahler trem on it, then swapped the Kahler to this L6s and *very* neatly excavated the area under this bridge *without* shredding the wood and used it to refill the top rout under the Ricky bridge?

tidy work :trippy:

Like Mr N said... for $600 I'm all about that bass. For this price... Did he smoke the rotten 1990s Prince cover band weed from the gig bag?


The Gibson looks absolutely amazing, but again these prices :lol:

Very ugly but actually hard to argue too much with the price if it plays well :lol:

Honestly, it really just needs a new pickguard. Or at least a little work to fix up the pickguard a bit; straighten out some of those rough edges, find a consistent set of screws, maybe new knobs. Decent price for once though

It might be cool to wire up the two "bridge" pickups with a blend like with the Yamaha SGV-300 guitars, for instance :snax: tho it might not have as usable an effect in the bass frequency range :idk:

Yeah, that seller basically said all it really needs is a nice pickguard. It's still a hack job though. :idk:

Much like this:
