Soloshchenko Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140512078601&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]How/why the hell has this happened?[/url] I'm almost tempted to buy this, fill it, refin and put it with Stevie D's broken neck which is winging its way to me as we speak. The only thing is, would it look ridiculous coupling a 51 reissue body with a standard precision headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I don't think it would look silly. Personally I'd just strip the whole thing but that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to re finish it blonde or something after filling those up. I've been looking everywhere for a 51 body/standard neck combo picture but nobody seems to have done it. If anyone could find me an image of what it would look like I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Anyone that's thinking of buying should probably ask for some pics from a different angle. I don't like how the grain angle changes dramatically on the "reliced" areas (indicating a fair old change in depth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a nice body/finish to mess up so badly. I've requested pics but if I win it I've resigned myself to strip down the body, refill the whole thing and re finish in nitro.
