    Man, I'm gonna be sick. If you want a floating trem, sell this one and buy one with a floating trem -- or at least get it done by a professional.

    Love the note from the seller "I know what this is worth so don't waste my time with low ball offers ... No reserve auction." Umm ... OK. To be honest, doesn't look like its worth more than neck and parts to me at this point.
    My stuff:
    2007 Axis Pacific Blue Burst (the only one that matters) (9/25/07)
    Ovation CDX-44 Trans Blue Burst
    1988 Fender HM Strat Black
    A half-dozen pawn shop beaters no one cares about

    The funny thing is that this trem can be setup floating WITHOUT any routing like on the Luke

    guitar butchery at its best really

    Definitely a great project if you can get it cheap.

    I don’t get what the previous owner was going for.

    I think they where hoping that they could flutter the trem, get the up and the down. That would be the only reason to remove the material under the rear of the trem. Kind of like a Floyd.

    Glenn, I was referring to the whole package. Blue pup, clear guard & the awful routing.

    If he was entering it in an ugly guitar contest, I think he’d be top 10 for sure.

    The owner knows what it is worth and so does everyone else as you can see there have been 4 offeres made and the price is at $51.lol I really am clueless as to what this guy was shooting for with one of the worst mod jobs I think I have ever seen. I would not stand too close to that guy while he has power tools in his hand.lol

    Maybe if the neck wasn't beat to Jebus, it would have been good for parts, but............nope.
