The potmetal chromed bridge is from a 66-67.  Bari switch is a replacement.  I like the case, mine is in a USA Starfire that weighs a ton.


In fighting trim:

 
To me, my pristine '67 is well worth the $250 more I paid than the BIN on that one.  So if that one is worth $1200 mine's worth $1450...which it probably isn't.

Na, priced too high given the condition and mods - in addition to the switch, that tailpeice is maddening - why use something that requires new holes in the body when a trapeze attached only with the butt end strap button would work perfectly well and actually be appropriate on this style of guitar, aesthetically.

There's some serious gouges in that bass!

Bar bridge don't bodder me none tho; I have a Schaller 460 in the parts drawer that'll fit the stock posts without mod.
