Now here's the problem with the replacement tuners. The brass one on the bottom has a slightly wider string post spacing. Such a shame, because I think you'd agree, they would look amazing as replacements.
The neck joint. Looks like it was made pretty well, even if it does appear to have two shims from new. Minimal glue, which has completely worked in my favour.
Now here's a question. At first I thought the pick guard was originally clear and had yellowed with age. But on closer inspection, do you think it might have been a tort pattern that's faded massively? That stain isn't painted on. It looks like its inside the guard material.
