A previous owner had tried to affix the original tuners with glue for some reason (??!?) leaving some sticky globs behind. I shaved off what I could with a razor blade to flatten out the mounting surface in preparation for the new GFS / Wilkinson vintage style tuners. Fit perfectly.

Picked this up today for $50-- missing bridge, bridge pickup and knobs but otherwise intact. I'll likely use the neck pickup surround as a template to make a patch for the missing / mangled one that used to surround the bridge pickup. It'll cover up the crude routing pretty well.

Seems old enough to be a Matsumoku factory build, but I haven't taken the neck off yet (it's bolt-on) to check for identifying marks. Either way, it could turn out to be a nice MM copy.

on the way to work. "police patrol" & "look police" to ward off squatters / scavengers / vandalizers, I suppose.
