It would be a bit of a gamble but it may not need anything other than a good setup. If the price stays low enough, you could have yourself a good deal.

Exactly!

I'm kicking myself for letting a cherry 5 string T Bird Studio go when I could have hit the buy it now for $700. I almost never even use a 5 string, but it's a beautiful axe. Would have been nice to have around.

It would have extended your sonic arsenal quite a bit, that Studio 5er. Due to the fat neck, every string (not just the B) sounds massive on it. The Motherbird.

Do it, Tom!!! Do it!!! There's also a 1964 bird on Ebay for $8,000.00 that if I'm not mistaken was on Ebay a few months ago and sold for $4,000.00
