Lorne Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ok,it's chipped to hell,has a broken truss rod,big frontbow with a slight twist,but when (LONG time),It's fixed,it's gonna be killer,been wanting a USA one of these for just about ever,It only just made it through shipping size restrictions and I need to have a Flight case made for it Yes I have the Trem arm,truss rod cover and there are no strings on it until it gets repaired and resprayed (Probably trans blue) Notice anything missing?

Shockwave Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thats amazing lorne! I bet your tech is going nuts just thinking about trying to sort it all out though, i really feel for him considering the projects you have brought him in recent years! Seriously, that is just gorgeous, would love to take it off your hands! Whilst i may not have a BCR, my love for an ironbird has not diminished Rob. EDIT: Pm me if your selling any of your current brood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
