Expert opinions on this SUS MUS please

Post by JONFROMJERSEY » Mon Mar 20, 2023 11:39 pm

This is for sale locally (NOT BY ME.)

The ad claims it is a 1965, totally original, missing the tremolo bar.

The seller wants about 3000 USD.

I have my doubts about everything, but I welcome any expert opinions.

Despite what is written I believe a few parts were changed, at least the neck plate, and obviously it was refinished (with a flamethrower).

I kinda like it, I don't the current market for vintage guitar in Sweden, but 3000€ for this is way too expensive, even if it's a '65.

Looks fantastic, but, yes, deeeeeeefinitely too much money for this one... :(

Can be a 65, but it´s hard to say.. a flamethrower was surely used... The hole under the non original neck plate makes me wonder what else there could be under the pickguard maybe?...
Without a pic from under the pickguard for me it´s hard to say what it is, because of the relic insanity everywhere...
