I had to look close for this mojo you speak of. A very honest description. It should go for a lower price seeing the extra pickup added & headstock repair.

I liked the seller's response to the question. Let's wait and see if tune-o-matic grabs it and sells it as 100% original in a couple weeks.

Even with the wear, mods and repairs, it should get at least the opening bid.

Sweet T-bird! VERY interesting-looking fretboard - I've never seen anything like that before. Gibson was building top-notch instruments back in '64 - it seems that they would have rejected any piece of wood that looked like that.

I am pretty sure that fingerboard has been repaired.

Dave W · April 06, 2012, 10:46:02 PM

Wouldn't surprise me either, or it could just be an unusual figure. At least the guy answers questions.

mutter mutter darn defective lotto tickets...if i had the dollars to spare i would bid.

That bass looks like somebody loved it.

godofthunder · April 08, 2012, 08:22:58 AM

Warts and all I'm tempted.

I was too...But..it's busted...and a pickup is added....so many things.....
