| Some more Frankensteeling like what we get on here. Someday those vintage guitars will be gone, and a bunch of them hacked up and turned from D-10's to SD-10s with goofy stuff fastened to them. |

Nothing that a fresh set of curb feelers can't fix.

Many, many years ago, a buddy of mine saw an ad in the classifieds of our newspaper. (Remember those?)
For sale, vintage shotguns, guitars, banjos, lamps.
He almost openly wept when he saw the "collection".
This "craftsman" had cut the headstocks off of a bunch of vintage Fender and Gibson guitars and attached lamps and lampshades in their place. There were some beautifully inlaid 4 and 5 string banjos that had met the same fate. Then there was the row of fine old side-by-side double barrel shotguns that had been cut down...

Look at that guy's other auctions and you can find all the other parts from the pedal steel. He dismantled the whole thing and is selling it off as parts!

Personally, I've decided it's not worth worrying about what other people do to their instruments...especially when there are hundreds or even thousands of similar/identical ones out there.
Life's too short.  |

OMG...did anyone look at the necks? That was once a WRAP AROUND. Well, I guess at least this one wasn’t turned into a wagon but I still can’t believe what some people will do to a guitar. I get what Donny is saying but it still makes me sick to my stomach seeing things like this.

I'm not saying this is the case, but if someone has a stolen psg, this is a pretty good way to get rid of it.

If you notice one neck is a wraparound and the other is a cut-tail, with corresponding changers for each neck, so it obviously has been altered previously...  |

Mike,
I only caught the wrap around neck, but didn’t notice the changers. Good eye! |

Maybe he has butchered more than one P/P.

As much as it hurts to see a vintage instrument unceremoniously dismembered like this, I don't think this guy is crazy. He likely cares much more about cold hard cash than he does about preservation of musical instruments. A poorly adjusted PP in ok shape with a homemade on-board effects added may bring $2500 to maybe $3000 sold as a complete instrument. But broken down to 35-40 separate assemblies such as pedal bar, changer, neck, cross shaft etc, and auctioned off individually, he could easily collect $4000 or even more. Parting out a guitar like this is probably the most effective way to get it sold for maximum profit as distasteful and barbaric the rest of us may find this practice.

That wraparound neck has definitely been "experimented" upon, the cut tail is the same. This guitar was pretty thrashed
