I don't have cable either. I'd play a Warwick before I'd pay money to watch television.

Anyway, the seller changed the picture to a stock photo of an Epi T-bird.

I bet this is one of those repair jobs that dealers can buy wholesale (but we can't).  I think I linked to their website a year or so ago - I found GC selling stuff they repaired.  I forget the name, but they get insurance wrecks, glue and putty and paint, change or obliterate the original serial number and put their own on, and off they go again.  The guys who buy them to sell on ebay are like the guys on HGTV who buy crack houses and do the kitchen over to make thousands.  Or have their wives divorce them.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

No cable, no antenna.  only TV I see is internet provided, legal or not.

The stripped Epi TBird Pro IV I bought for $100 delivered came in the original box w/ ser no. defaced and USED stamped into the back of the headstock.  Buggered trussrod nut, way too much backbow.  Other than that perfect.  55-115 roundwounds cured it...BTW, those Pro IVs have a brass nut that's painted black when they shoot the headstock.  Quality instrument IMO.

Hey, I don't have cable either!

I didn't either for years, but finally got satellite, mostly for sports and news.  I'll bet you don't live in a spider hole!   ;D

I probably should be more careful what I say, you never know who will take exception!!!!!  8)
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

Satellite... with a SKY+ box (if that means anything out of the UK...)

The magic box soaks up some of the down time... since we got satellite we rarely watch anything as it's broadcast - whizz past the adds when we do... ;D

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
