I dunno if this is in the guitar section or not, but it was so horrible that I thought I'd share my trauma with all of you:

This guitar is all over the forum.

I don't know if the hall of shame has an Oscar night, but this would definitely take top honors.

Dale should get his hands on that...he'd soon have it it back to it's former glory...

That sucks but it is true that double neck Ricks (especially the 4080) were not the most comfortable instruments to play. This instrument apparently shows the owner's solution to the frustration.

Somethings missing. I cant put my finger on it.... But I just know somethings missing.

Ted - that's down the street from you. Have a talk with Scott!

It can be restored, right? The missing piece can be added by a luthier, and then the guitar can be refinished in some opaque color (I'd do it in Blueboy if it were mine) and bound. A good luthier can do it.

Right, Ilan, But to think someone did this to such a lovely and original instrument...Blueboy would be nice...

With a gold pickguard and TRC's of course!

It could have been worse... This could have been a 4080

Well, he could have just sawed it in half...
