At least it does look like it has had a chance to make a lot of music these past 32 years - look at the wear on the upper edge of the end of the fingerboard (a slapper!).

Post by: David Houck on January 03, 2018, 04:37:15 PM: Hah! I was so focused on the pickups and electronics, I didn't even notice that upper horn.

Horn makes the "rescue project" a bit more difficult. :)

Post by: edwardofhuncote on January 03, 2018, 04:46:31 PM: I think the lower horn was whittled down too.... it's close to a Distillate or Small Standard shape now. I'm guessing that was the goal. :)
