Not for the faint of heart: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-ORIGINAL-GIBSON-FIREBIRD-GUITAR-FOR-REPAIR-PARTS-PROJECT/152521196146 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-ORIGINAL-GIBSON-FIREBIRD-GUITAR-FOR-REPAIR-PARTS-PROJECT/152521196146)

Of course, I recall Scott's T-bird restoration but still...

That was a deliberate destruction, not an attempted removal of parts...

Just fire-wood now...
