Definitely overpriced, but appeals to my sense of the quirky. Kind of a travesty though. Whoa!

With such a nice piece of maple it's a shame they didn't get the control/cover plate mounted straight!

Absolutely. I saw this the other day and had the exact same reaction. I think it's probably worth about $80. Beautiful chunk of hardwood though!

Eggs Ackley Dom! Be great in a Tele! The pup is probably worth way more than the asking price for the instrument.

post edited to reflect the old saying.........."If you don't have something good to say, just keep you're mouth shut" (or something like that) Embarassed

I offer my sincere apology if I offended the seller or builder of the instrument by posting my first reaction.

Some projects of the hybrid variety are fine...You
see right away that the designer/builder KNOWS a
certain category of instruments in terms of history,
manufacturing tech specs & aesthetics...unfortunate-
ly,this one does not belong in this category...McUtsi

There are such good repros available now that I don't think that is as much of an issue as it would have been 20 yrs ago.

I notice that it ended with no bids. A sign that it was priced to high, possibly.

If you really want that pickup now's the time! Wink ....Or the whole show! These things do sound kinda neat.
