I saw that too. I hope you got it for a lot less than the Reverb 'BIN" price. That looks like water damage. Early 80's finishes check, but they don't fold up and wrinkle like that under normal aging circumstances. Anyway, looks like a fun project! Congrats, and enjoy!

That's my Reverb listing. It cost me $950 after the absurd fees and handling from the auction. I know how people on Reverb are, and I would need $1050 on Reverb to break even. It's more of an opportunity for someone to make an offer and me try to get them to do it straight through PayPal. Reverb has become mostly unuseable as a seller. The buyer bids $1000, pays $1200, I get $800.

Well I've got my foot in my mouth here, sorry about that. Seriously, good luck with the sale.

Yes, bridge and tailpiece.

The truss rod seems good.

Totally fine, you were kinder about than some who acted like I was stealing their baby in the night by trying to sell something.
