Thinking that they could get way more $ because of the stripes.

Either that or there were tons of drugs happening there, one will never know.

Wasn't this same guitar posted a while back? Wonder if the guy wasn't able to sell it the first time.

why would anyone want to buy a EBMM guitar that has been altered to this extent. I would not want to spend money on something that virtrally has no value! I was given a 1956 (or 57) Gibson Les Paul Jr. that had been altered and the value of the guitar is about 2-3 hundred bucks. Where if the guitar was the original color and had teh original dog ear pickup... I was told it could go for as much as 6k. So... I'd say this guitars value would be about 10 bucks! ONCE AGAIN STUPID IDIOT!

Now now now, calm down.

How do we know the top wasn't hosed on this thing before the mod? Or maybe it just sucked? We don't know.

However, the mods to the trem cavity and the unknown whereabouts of the original bridge PU are unforgivable. Route the trem? WHY? I have a feeling this guitar was abused beyond reasonable repair and a salvage job was done. All of the "mods" are done from the bridge PU downwards towards the trem. Just my guess.
