I was trying to determine if this was a champion with the mots removed. The bridge plate and string cover sure looks like it. Is this ash?

It sure looks like it's been removed. I've never seen one without the MOTS finish.

It's been stripped and has a replacement pickup and tuners. It's probably not worth as much as the starting price, but it could be a good utility instrument.
