^^^ Whoa! Talk about second chances. I thought I'd be seeing that lumpmaster on ebay for years to come. So looking forward to see what you come up with!
It'll be okay. I gotta graft on some more lumps.

I can’t wait to see this one restored, and if anyone can do it, it must be you, will! What you did with that black/red Mustang and Musicmaster was an all-time OSG highlight!

I like the fact that they made such a fucking mess of the bridge, but took the time to paint one of the bridge pins black to match the others. It's the little details that really make or break a guitar.

Has a minor crack at the neck pocket - now I wonder where that would come from? How does that thing even hold the neck anymore?

On the other hand, it’s a perfect example for the versatility of Fender guitars: they can even be turned into Gibsons and remain playable 😉
