Bloodaxe Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 TBH, I'm more concerned about the Primrose Yellow that appears to be lurking under the black. Oh, and the chances of retrieving any dates are very slim indeed unless they got nitro'd over at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I can't believe you guys, that's a great price seeing as "TRUSS ROD WORKS GREAT." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaussie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Isn't this seller somehow related to Tuneomatic? He's that guy in California (I think) who seems to have a constant supply of vintage Fenders that he sells for obscene prices.

I love everything about this listing. I love "obviously it was modified". I love the way if you look at the neck it kind of looks like it's melting.

Apparently he has a time machine which he uses to go back to the sixties to buy up new Fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That's a bargain for a neck of such quality and provenance. Looks like the type of thing you'd sell a kidney for......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloshchenko Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I know I'm an idiot but is anyone else thinking "If that was as cheap as it should be (ie. less than £20), I would love to have a go at restoring it"? Be honest! Just me then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
