I bought a seventies Japanese SG knock off for 30 bucks

Here it is when I got it home.

And here it is after I cleaned it up and replaced the dodgy broken vibrato with a Functioning one.

It functions perfectly plays really nice, the pickups however don't sound that nice to me and I'll probably swap them soon.

kick ass! i got my eyes set on a early 1970s LP copy for around the same price. Its in okay condition with the pickups sounding vintage as hell. I'll post pics in the thread if i grab it.

cool guitar. Is it a bolt on or a set neck?

[bibz]

Killer grab dude!! Morris guitars are awesome, especially of that vintage, on the rise in collectability aswell.

[toejam]

Very cool. Love the color.

Nice $30 scoop, reminds me of a Hagstrom II and a Gibson Explorer amp that I bought both for $30. Looks great with the Bigsby!

[StukaJU87]

Cool copy. I had one similar to that back in the late 70's. I bought mine through the now defunct Lafayette Electronics chain store catalog.

I got $50 with your name on it ! (didnt think so..."-)) What a steal!

[Cygnus X1]

That bigsby is worth 100 bux on its own.
Cool deal!

[skorb]

now put a Tele neck on it

Yeah, too bad it didn't come with the guitar huh?



Pay attention, Cyg, to the "before and after" pics!

[straycat]

Keep the pickups in there and put an rs kit in you"ll be suprised how good it will sound.

now put a Tele neck on it

[jgcable]

BTW.... the neck pickup is in backwards. The poles should be on the neck side.

Looks like a fun little axe!
Congrats.
I just love free guitars (or that close to it!)
