If the price doesn't go up much, this might be a good way to score some original WRHB's.paul_ wrote:I like it except for the WRHBs

How did that neck never get broken?!? (And I don't mean Joan, neither).

Buy for $600ish, put whatever pickups you have lying around on it, cut a new pickguard, then sell it for whatever it sells for.benecol wrote:That is a very good point. Hmmm...mkt3000 wrote:If the price doesn't go up much, this might be a good way to score some original WRHB's.
Lets say you pay $750 for this with shipping. You put on parts you have lying around (price = $0, since most of us have stock pickups from other guitars lying around somewhere), cut a pickguard yourself (price = $0 using what you have at home). You should still be able to get $500 for it used... and voila, you just got original WRHB's for $250.
Whoah, Nelly...

Wait. Unless this guitar has had parts replaced, pups, whatever, please do not molest it.mkt3000 wrote:Buy for $600ish, put whatever pickups you have lying around on it, cut a new pickguard, then sell it for whatever it sells for.benecol wrote:That is a very good point.

I'm no expert but, if all original, it's priceless as-is. I'm certain Joan would agree. Perhaps violently.Re: Whoah, Nelly...

A vintage 1960's Gibson Melody Maker SG body style 12 string guitar. The original pickups are gone and someone added two 1970's Fender Humbucker pickups.
Molest it, Nelly...

This thing is begging for some Byrds.

This is the first thing I thought. But we don't see the headstock meet the neck in the auction pics, do we?DGNR8 wrote:How did that neck never get broken?!? (And I don't mean Joan, neither).

I know the EDS1275 have 3 piece laminated necks, I assume, to reduce the likelihood of headstock snapping.
Looking at the 7th picture, the neck is a much paler wood than the body. Don't know what kind of wood it is (maybe maple?) though it doesn't look 3 piece.
