Has sold some bodies, necks etc. recently so has probably assembled it himself. Still looks nice though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Looks a bit dodgy to me - the machineheads are way too close to the edge of the headstock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be concerned what other corners had been cut in it's production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbass Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well spotted fellas That headstock is, upon close inspection, clomplete clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
