Congratulations & Compliments, Clarky. Glad that one worked out for you. Good call on the black nail polish... it would make a very good touch-up, and you can probably build it up too.

The guitar shop said: "The pickup was not replaced, the previous owner told me it was asked like that, with lower output than the original. The paint is original. The previous owner was the original owner who bought it new in the 80's."

Hahaha

Play it like you stole it!

Having had the serial/history update from Mica, I can now confirm that every single statement above made by the guitar shop was false, lol!

I might not be here today, if it weren't for a liar. He didn't know it, but I got the much better end of the deal. Took me a while to figure it out, but he cheated me into a lifetime of playing much better instruments than I deserve. Made a few friends in California too.  :)

Hope that Spoiler is working out for you, Clarky... it needed to be with someone who appreciates it.
