  • Jackson Roundhorn v


    Picked this up . Sending to Lee at GMW for a full restoration. Closest I'll come to Robins.Will have neck painted and a tone control added. New chrome floyd. JB/ 59 pickup combo. What am I missing. Yes it is a bolt on. Can't have everything. Wish it had dots. I'll live with the sharks. Headstock has some esthetic damage

                  I was tempted by that one, with Lee in mind too - congrats!!

                  Rare is not the same as valuable

                    Whoa. Although, I would just have it cleaned up and fix the headstock. Too rare to mod, IMO. But congrats on a ridiculous find!!

                        It's so banged up that having Lee restore it is probably better for the value. He's pretty much the only one that could restore it and not have it affect the value negatively, IMO.
