Some things are just too painful to look at ... for example, these "mods".

The case is not in good shape and will need repair.

Never mind the guitar :lol:

I noticed this Frankenstein on the 'Bay as well... horrible!

Thanks John,I think so too.Jason doesn't have those 481 pickups available anymore so I will just leave it as is.

I'd suggest putting a 481 style pick guard on it but installing Ric standard pick ups in it, like HB's, maybe even three like a 483.
Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed (and I mean that in an optimistic way).

I'd say you got a pretty good deal!

I really like that azurglo conversion you have going on there...whats the story on that? The S curves look great!
