karlfer Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Very tempted by this but something doesn't ring true. Any thoughts please? Cheers, Karl. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130933892252?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The machine heads are Gotoh replacements I'd say. Also it has dot markers and I believe 70s models - as this purports to be - would have pearl blocks and binding. The addition of EMGs and stack pots ads to the conundrum. I wouldn't....

karlfer Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cheers Ash. I'm also thinking ebony board and 62'RI stackpots not right as I didn't think the first 62 RI's were until late 80's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Ask him if it weighs a quarter of a ton. If it does, it might be a genuine 78... Seriously, though, it doesn't look right to me - my 78 was, as Ash says, block and bound. I'd like to see the neck plate, too - should be a micro-tilt. No bullet truss rod adjuster, either...nope, the more I looky, the less I likey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
