spinynorman Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I think this would look really great with a pair of Kent Armstrong split tube chrome pickups instead of the black Jazz ones.

If it plays like a dog, the parts might still be worth something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just all that retro chrome against the blue .... No, you're right. The "reinforcing strip" in the neck sounds ominous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Really hard to tell what that is, I think it's a Tele g*it*r body + a kilo of Polyfilla under all that blue crap. Either that or someone's taken a hacksaw to the top horn. I do quite like the neck - the middle strip & zero fret puts me in mind of some of the 80s Eko electrics, possibly even the 70s Shaftesbury rebrands. Jon.
