pickguard replaced and knob arrangement not correct for that year. knob arrangement looks wrong for any year rick i've ever seen ??? hmmmmm. '90's/ 2000's style neck pickup and neck pickup rout in pickguard looks hand cut.

I'm guessing that the "racing stripe" (which appears to be paint, not tape) is hiding a crack in the area of the reworked jack recess.

Not to mention the cold solder joints. There is no flow on any of them.cjj wrote:Yeah, definitely a crummy rewiring job, not original. The ceramic caps are 0.022uF too instead of 0.047uF...
