Hi All
It's me again. After getting the S100, I got guild fever and had to treat the symptoms with the following.
I purchased it of off the bay and paid way too much...as I got caught up in the moment.
I have a standard LP and the blues bird seemed like a great guitar from various reviews.
I have been told that this guitar has been heavily modified. So any info you may have would be greatly appreciated...as I cannot find any picks that show a bluesbird with a knob located on the horn (right top of face...nor with 3 backplates to cover the electronics on the back)...I am assuming a master volume knob goes here but am not sure?
It is my understanding that the hole for the middle HB1 is likely a modification...any thoughts on this? Maybe the bridge pickup is now in the neck position and the neck pickup is in the middle position (guess due to thickness of bezels surrounding pickups)
What do you think was located on the left side front face of the guitar? A switch to control the pickups?
Anyhow here are a few more pics
I plan to "fix" up the guitar, add a 3rd HB1 and make it similar to a LP black beauty, then add it to the collection and play it.
Any leads on an HB1, Pickguard (which will likely have to be modified to fit around the middle pickup), bezel, tone knob, master volume knob/electronic, where to get backplates, is much appreciated
In regards to the pickups...what bezel should be used for the middle pickup (the thicker bridge type of the thinner neck type?) as it appears that the bridge and neck bezel are in the wrong spot
Thanks for taking the time to read
