nah, refinished the body and neck - sanded back, relaquered, changed electronics to HB size p90s with a full rewire and change of pots (CTS) and caps (sprague) and 3 way switch. changed tuners to klusons, changed ferrules (had to route out) to fender vintage, changed neck plate to fender, changed bridge to a steel plate with bent steel saddles.

i was going to repaint it but the wood was pretty good. i think it is that agathis stuff, very light. but i just use it as a guitar that i can take to gigs in dodgy places 8) adn not be too concerned about it being damaged/stolen

Nah I like the look of it. The seventies were the best years of my life (age 0-3).
