Someone wants 8000 € for this butchered 1962 JM, with a dead neck pickup. (Apparently belonged to a famous dutch band, but all pictures show a regular sunburst one, so they're probably not responsible for the mess ;D )

Does anyone know what this mod might be? I mean, it seems to be an effect pedal of some sort built into the guitar, but the layout seems to be pretty much the same as on the purple JM that theworkoffire bought and restored and it has me curious. Maybe some shop somewhere offered these mods as standard practice and both these JMs passed through there at some point? Or maybe the same artist owned both these guitars and they just ended up going in separate directions? Or could it have been a mod that some famous player did to his or her guitar and others ended up aping?

I'd like to know too, out of some sense of morbid curiosity. It looks to me like it's fairly modern, or at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself..
