tauzero Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The unmodded one looks quite nice apart from the headstock, the stripped one with the Al scratchplate looks hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I reckon those control knobs give you BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Even more heavily modified than the one I used to own. And that is saying something. Replaced nut, fingerboard (top), scratch plate, bridge, electronics (may use some of the original components). Missing one Tri-Sonic pickup, bridge cover, the original finish which would have probably been red (with a black burst on the back of the neck) and the Burns logos from the head and body. Strangely enough it still has the original machine heads which I had to replace on mine due to the fact they wouldn't hold the string tension under standard tuning. I really liked mine, but IMO the main USP was the sound of both pickups together which wired them in series (something you can't do on this example).
