Because this means I Will have to baby it, and be careful, and I'm still a wild-man with my guitars. That's why I don't buy vintage guitars unless they are unoriginal, refinished, and player-grade, or a cheap(ened) subject of the "Why did you do this to me?" Thread.
Or it means "what work has been done to it that I'll uncover in a month's time because it's so clean that I don't immediately notice it"

Stickers...

I hate stickers on guitars, I don't understand stickers on guitars.

Even removed...I only see the scar.

So stuff like this listing? (Not anyone I know, just one I saw recently that I laughed at the pictures....)

People responding to this ad with "Is this still available?" will be drained of their blood and join the legions of the undead. Ad will be removed when guitar is sold.

Count me in as uninterested in mint vintage guitars. I love Quirky guitars with a story, but original pickups are majorly important to me as well if I'm paying anything more than a grand or so. Refin on fenders Is fine, not on Gibson's though. Stickers are also a big no for me. Don't mind a refret with bigger wire, always preferred Gibson size anyways.
