This one could have been perfect, untill I saw the pick ups...First time I heard someone describe the Franz pickups as dull and lifeless.

There is another thread on this in the eBay section. http://www.letstalkguild.com/phpBB2/vie ... php?t=4035 The amazing thing is the guy sounds proud of what he did.

He says "don't ask questions." Don't need to, the listing speaks for itself.

He says "it is time for someone else to carry the blonde torch." Seems to me what the guy did was to torch the blonde.

Hmmm, I got a nice X-175 and a new router for Father's Day, hmmmmm

...Seems to me what the guy did was to torch the blonde...

.....and get rid of the evidence; no original parts. Can't tell if he's proud or angry. Rout this... :evil:

Hmm. "No issues". Riiight...

I kinda' admire the resourcefullness of using the Franz cover that way.

But jeeze...

He knew enough to determine that it's the 14th X175 made, but not enough to have the p'ups rewound?

Hell, he should track down an Ibanez vibrato from a trashed Artcore, to really upgrade this classic!!

Not even something along the lines of, "What were you thinking?"
