There might have been a time when it was vintage. Now, it's just pretty much a disaster.

Thanks....you can see the desperation in some people. It is already too high for what it is. I think I will wait for another project...paologregorio wrote:The PG is missing but everything else is there?! Jeez, it looks like it's missing someWOOD maybe...from all of those extra pickup routs!!
