The bridge is awful as well. I'd love to see what's under the pickguard, I'm thinking a nice chisel job for the routing.

Haha, I can't believe I didn't notice the bridge. I guess my eyes were too stuck on the forest of switches and knobs and that nasty white P pickup.

If the first Rickenbacker I ever saw in my life had looked like this one, I'd have become a Shergold addict. Image

It had a BIN price of $999.00, whoooeeee!!! Just think one dollar short of a grand between you and the pleasure of having a guitar some shmuck did a hack job on! Wow!

Remember folks, if you buy before midnight tonight we'll send you a free sample of air and a free case of Ginsu knives!!!

Hopefully nobody will bid on that ****.
The saddest thing is that, originally, it was a RIC... Image
