Non-rev on the 'bay
« on: March 03, 2014, 01:51:03 PM »

Lots of early bidding action.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-GIBSON-THUNDERBIRD-IV-BASS-GUITAR-NON-REVERSE-MID-1960s-SEMI-PROJECT-/181338619030

Neck repair looks horrendous.  Bet it goes for stupid money.

At least the neck looks restorable. It would take a lot of time and money to do it right though.

Yes, I'd say that calls for major surgery....and if it was glued with epoxy or Gorilla Glue (looks possible) it would be really ugly.

Looks like it's been re-listed with a 2K opening bid this time.  At least its in better shape than that red one at guitar center!

Yuppers, I'd say that just about sums it up.

We have absolutely no indication that Scott had anything to do with it.
