karlfer Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thinking very strongly about selling soul/next doors cat for this one. Any thoughts/dangers peeps? Cheers in advance, Karl.

Hobbayne Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Apart from the re finish, it looks in good nick. I presume its all original too! Edited December 21, 2012 by Hobbayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horton Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Price Maybe slightly high for a refinish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair, he has posted pictures of them, so I doubt he's trying to hide anything. In any event, looks a decent buy at under £1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It's odd that the colour under the pickguard is so different to the rest of the body and the headstock. I know wood coloured ones are more prone to this - but it seems very stark in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks as though its not be refinished under the pickguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The front of the headstock looks very dark too, compared to the rest of the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks lads, very tempted and it's only 20 miles away. Going to have a think, but if it goes, well, no prob. Reality is there is a rather rare Warwick on here that I have my eye on. The last one very similar went on FEEBay for £475. I would go to £600, but he is wanting quite a bit mpore than that and I ain't gonna lowball him. Decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Not sure why it's been stained around the guard, and then the same stain used for the front only of the headstock, looks a bit orangy for my taste. Because the face of the headstock has been done, it will be difficult to change the refin to one of your own choice, kinda stuck with that really! I also think it's a little pricey for what it is. I'm sure it plays well, even if it looks a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
