This will go for a good price..I like the bold lettering..."It hasn't been sanded..original finish"

What's the deal here? looks like v63 truss cover, reissue vintage pickups....What's with the black on the back of the neck?

See, it appears to have been sanded. By the Incredible Hulk.

At least $700 worth of parts on that one.
The body has to be worth $300 dontcha think?
I sent a back door offer of $850.
I likely won't be the only one!

Yeah, it is one of those rare black-necked satin-finished, relic-ed models from the 70's with an il-fitting TRC. Just like in the catalog. I really like the old finish residue around the jack plate. Nice touch.

Did the factory ever do a custom MG with hints of ruby, metalic blue, and a metalic blue neck back?!

What WAS that seller smoking when the description was amended to read that the sanded-down Pawn-Shop-Five-Finger-Hot look was its original finish?
Had to have been laced with something non-agricultural...........

Dale or Paul, could you save it? if so, i'm in Canada - but would ship it straight to whomever can bring it back.

Yes, based on what I can see in the pics it could be saved.

I already had a fellow call me from back East, he wants to buy it and have it restored, if he can get it for around $800.00, shipped to my shop and restored for under 1K... I think it will go for about that..

Oh my god! I was like, "Hey, this is in my price range!" and then of course, I saw that everyone was offering $800-$1000. Alas. It looks like it would be a pretty kickass bass. Someone *better* put real walnut wings on the headstock!
