PURPOLARIS Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The neck can hardly take 4 strings and there's an empty tuner hole in the headstock for a 5th string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 my guess it was made as a 5 string guitar project (in someones shed, with very crude tools and little skill) and the 5th peg has been taken out a 4 string nut put on and a Schaller bridge (which is probably the best bit about it!). looks a very short scale too and a week pup so I guess it could be great or utter cr@p..... I think you know where my thoughts lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 This one's already been put forward for well-deserved ridicule here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85900"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85900[/url] Comedy firewood.

AndyTravis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hofner neck? Hofner Staple pickup at the end of the neck? Mrs.Trav had it right 'Looks like a f***in' cardboard cutout...' Yeah, i agree. Roll on November 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassulike66 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 "classic japanese style black headstock." hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....... Sorry about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I agree with the above - a Hofner neck & pickup. The neck might have been worth something if the 5th hole hadn't been bored in it. Is the body a slab cutout in the shape of a 185? G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='832852' date='May 10 2010, 10:01 AM']I agree with the above - a Hofner neck & pickup.
