T8 < $500....What is it & will it fit on sleigh?

Tommy Martin Young · From: Sacramento-California, USA

Sorry if I've posted in wrong area- but I am not selling this just trying to figure out what it is and at sub-$500 perhaps it'll make the perfect Self gift... how else do you get what you really want for Christmas, right?

Just saw this T8 on EB...anyone know what brand it might be? Don't see too many at that price and maybe it's worth restoring?

I think by the time you pay shipping from Canada, have the pickups rewound, etc. you'll wish you had bought this instead:

Kinda funky and needs proper leg sockets but a better starting point. Of course it's a double and not a triple, wrong knobs and bridge covers and missing the stainless diamonds. I don't think a $600 offer would be low balling. No affiliation. There have been several lower priced Stringmasters this week. A couple that didn't sell and may be relisted.

I would call that a homemade chocolate mess. Best left alone. The only redeeming feature that I see is that one of the necks has what look like lollipop tuners.

Doug Beaumier · From: Northampton, MA

I agree. It's looks to be homemade and it has two dead pickups and three broken tuners. I wouldn't spend any money on that at all... not in the purchase or the repairs. My advice is to save your money and look for a name brand, working guitar.
