 I don't see that being worth anywhere near the opening bid.

I suppose it's a candidate to take that grotesque pad off the back, fill the J rout, find tuners and refin.  At $400-$500 it might be worth it.

 It's officially a highly polished turd.

I don't think you guys realize what an all original one of these goes for. Much more than an early 60s SG-shaped EB-0. You probably won't find one under $3K. Mods and all, I'll be surprised if this doesn't get a bid.

 I have been watching all original ones, this one is nowhere near all original. I'd pay $700 max and that's after I've had a few.

I'd like to try it out for tone, but I wouldn't expect much.
