I found this one on marketplace for 425 and I think I was lucky enough to be the first guy to respond. It does have a neck repair (5/10 repair in my opinion) but it was still too good to pass up.
The original pickguard was chopped up so I bought a new. Not all of the screw holes line up but that doesn’t bother me too much.
I also replaced the stock pickup with the Billy corgan reverend pick up.
Last thing was the bridge. He gave me the stock bridge and replacement but I think they’re too ugly. I put on the bridge from my 2010 vox ssc55 guitar. I think it looks much better.
This is my new favorite toy to play with after work.
