Here's a honey of a design.
Anyone here have the heart to tell 'em the guard ain't original?

He knows it's not original. He says "All Original" in the auction, but then goes on to say that "I know these are selling for over 3,000$, but i'm listing this at 1,700$".
Nonsense.
If you know they're selling for twice that then thats what you list it at, I refuse to believe he shaved half the price off out of the goodness of his heart. Anybody can look up "1973 4001" on google and see what it's supposed to look like.

Not the worst surround I've ever seen for that type of replacement bridge, but that pickguard is hideous.

There's plenty of others out there that leave something to be desired.
