Yep. Found me yet another one,and this one was simply to good to pass up. What we´re talking here is aaaaaaaaaaaalmost a closet classic. It´s got the occasional ding,but that´s it.
What i´ve done thus far is to take a razorblade to the fretboard,polish the frets with the fretfile shod with 800 paper..lubricate the pots and in turn install a treble bleed across the volume pot.
Yep. Pups i´ve had out,and indeed this is a PE-1000 (IOW Proto´s in there)
What DOES set this one apart tho is..it´s something as rare as a true flametop. Or..top..heck,the entire thing is flamed.
Yep. Bet i´m the first one to open the hood of it. Had to as it had oxidized to the point where output was about none existent,and hence..installed a bleed while at it.
Fretwear is..nil. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Had to polish the regular green stuff off of the frets tho..
As i´m one that believes in Trev...that makes this a -78 vintage PE-1000.
´N yeah. The OHSC is in about just as nice a nick as the guitar. Looks like it´s never been used.
Yep. Intact. That there is the stock casecandy..
Ironically,as it really hasn´t been used,it turns out that this is one really great playing guitar! It really is.
As some of you know i´ve owned,and do own,a Masterpiece or two over the yrs n...this one is certainly up there.
