My reasoning was that I was going to strip her of her tuners, knobs, pups (Dimarzio's), pots and all and replace with generic equipment that I have and sell her off to get my money back...

But I have to say... that wood grain is amazing and this guitar does not have one scratch on her.... she is mint.....So the sentimental guy that I am... cant seem to bring myself to strip her... Must be really getting emotional with old age... :lol:

What about you guy's.... What would you do with her?......

:loon:

Cool score.
I'd try and learn to play upside down or use it for slide.
I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed 8-)

I'd use it as the excuse to make that trip to Australia I'd always wanted to take, and pick up my Melody Maker copy from 'Bulger while I was there.
