Too bad some fuck nut converted it to a hard tail.

Might be salvageable though. Looks like they left the trem studs in.

I don't think that one would be all that hard to make right.

[rjohnstone]

Yeah... probably wouldn't take much to get it working right.
May not be pretty, but it would probably make a great player.

I almost bought that last week. After the cost of the trem and lock you would have a great player but one that looks fugly and almost cost as much as a nice one.

Never seen a bridge conversion quite like that, what the heck did he do?!?

[rjohnstone]

Looking at the pic, it looks like someone stuck a v-trem, not a hard tail, in there.
You can just make out the arm socket.
Not sure how good the intonation on that would be.

[bombtek]

yeah ok....but did you guys see the Model 3 for $229?

The red one?
That one is local... well the other side of town, but still in driving distance.
I may have to check it out.

Did you see the 86 Model 3 with the Kahler?
They want $699 for it. :ROTF:
They think it's a USA.

Looks like it was routed first for more room to pull up, as those had the non-recessed JT-6.

A little too much trem drama going on for my taste.

Yup the red one. The JT-6 looks a little cruddy from the pic, but I bet WD-40'll bring it back, and from what can be seen in the pic, the rest of the guitar looks pretty damn good.

I have a 5FX that has that same partial pull-up route from the factory. There were more than a few that had it. Some didn't some did.
