Lee Carter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A quite stunning piece and an excellent example at this price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's an early one with the Hayman headstock hole and large extra rectangular pick guard - these were used to cover the huge rout for the two split pickups on the Hayman 40/40 these bodies and necks were originally made for. I've emailed him about it and he offered it me for a price I wasn't prepared to pay given its 'yoghurt' covering Parts are hard to come by but there are people on the Shergold forum who can help with that. These are nice basses but keep in mind this has the earlier truss rod access method ( behind the serial plate over the neck plate) which I found to be a real faff.
