Trussrod cover removed. Trussrod nut intact. Believe it or not, this guitar actually had chicken feather fluff trapped in crevices ! Below you can see one that got stuck under the trussrod cover lip, and then onto the string end when I opened the cover ! |
Looking down the right edge of the fingerboard from behind the pickup: Even the neck relief is just right, although the bridge / strings is set way too high for my likings; Maybe the previous owner was one of Geetar-Zan's gorillas ! (Sorry for the poor pic; My camera didn't have a clue which item to focus on and wouldn't take my hints). |
Bridge and vibrato details. Both in good condition and will clean up very well. Vibrato cover tilted because that top screw is loose. |
What looks like aluminum corrosion on vibrato rocker mount is just many years of dust and gig-bag interior fibres accumulated on old lubrication. A Strat style vibrato arm might screw into the threaded socket on top of the vibrato roller; But I am now in the process of reading the thread size and pitch to see if it matches modern vibrato arm standards; If it doesn't, one will have to be fabricated .....as would be the case if a just-like-original replacement was desired. |
And down the left edge. |
