So right now I am doing this to a Gibson from 1967-69. It was a Melody Maker 1 that had been modded to a 2 humbucker thing with a lot of other changes. Now getting it professionally routed to P13 pickups and whatever else is needed to make it playable.
Look for a routed body, many are out there, and make it rock. I have a late 70s Musicmaster that I have to work on, someone "routed" it with a screwdriver while drinking paint thinner (my guess at least). Need to clean that out.
Happy hunting, but trashing a virgin body means one less out there that is virgin, and if you find a virgin body, you probably can do a trade with someone else who has a damaged one. (assuming a complete guitar and just looking to swap the body).

All virgins are liars, honey.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.
