OK,,,what did this used to be

[TheGreek]

For fun only...as it's unlikely that anybody will ever know. We've all got the same amount of info/ clues...the bridge looks familiar.

Certainly a nicer bass.

My first thought was Ibanez SR or SRX - modern ones use the same bridge and the control cover's the right shape, but other things don't match up. So not that, but something related - a different Ibby, or something from the same factory - a Cort, maybe.

Edit - pups & bridge would match a Cort GB74.

Hopefully a GB34, bad enough, but the 74 is a decent slab of wood!

Wouldn't SR/SRX have a 2+2 headstock?

(I actually like the headstock shape, for some reason. I think it's because it's so resolutely non-pointy.)

I'm more perplexed by the other "custom" build showing below it.

Does rotating a tuner and cutting half the scratchplate away mean custom. Okay it's £100 for a Concord but still !!

A bedpan

Thought it might have been a Yamaha SBV-500 but the remaining bit of body doesn't fit that theory and the headstock's a bit skinnier.

Fortunately not - too many frets & an SBV has no rear routing. Still thinking some sort of Cort...
