Ever wondered about the quality of maple underneath a solid painted top? Well some clown found out the answer for us....

Still its pretty nice wood to be painted over with a solid colour!

I've discovered some ugly surprises beneath painted tops .

This one's not so bad though, in fact I think if you strip the headstock, it'd look pretty cool, maybe with a Tru Oil finish. If the price stays low, it'd make a great player for someone.

If I catch my black Axis in the right light I can make out the flame figuring in the top. I would never consider stripping the top though.

I don't think they took the bridge off of that guitar, it looks like there's a red ring around it and in the 5 way.

That guy should be strung up for doing that.

Or better yet, I'd pay to see you Kung-Fu Grip his neck!

C'mon, that seller would even go for a photo-flame 7ender...

...not nice what he did to that ASS...

I did that to my strat copy Peavey that was my first guitar before refinishing it, but i'd never do that to a MusicMan! That's just blasphemy! The finishes are hard as nails and perfect to start with!

Might have been a nice guitar to do a red sparkle re-finish on?
