Anyone STILL want a 4005? 1969?

Post by atomic_punk »

Found this whilst surfing thru Ebay and noticed a thread was here regarding the 4005's, so I thought I would post this one from Ebay. It's not mine, just letting those who are interested know it is out there to be had.

We have been watching this one, why don't you go for it, they are worth getting even if they need a little TLC.

Very tempted, but alas, I just don't have the funds available or the repair skills to do that one justice...thought I would point it out to the rest of the forum. I saw the other thread after I posted that, sorry!

The refin on it just looks like an oil finish, which would be very easy to redo, plus the pickguard can be replaced with one from Pickguardian; Tony can reproduce the one on it. As far as I can tell that's all that would have to be done to make it look good. Minimal investment beyond the actual purchase, really.
