Saw that.  Not pretty, is it.

It's a mess, and it's also not an AFR. That's an EDA905, the plastic-bodied semi-reissue of the AFR from about 15 years ago. Nice enough basses, but they go for about £300 when they dont have muck all over them.

Looks like said person has sanded through the paint to the “luthite” body.

They don’t often turn up in good nick - a shame,

Bloody hell. 

 

From bitter experience, I know that cracking in the hard outer shell of the luthite body acts as a weakness and makes the lower horn very fragile.  And  the upper horn too, I have no doubt.

 

Avoid like the plague.

Relisted and sold for £200, bit less than the £1000 being asked for it originally.

The finish makes it look like its been flayed.
