Woah CK! Nice find man! That guitar is gorgeous! I feel like the odd one out though with everyone else having a semi-hollow and I don't haha!
Great guitar though for the money and I dig the Bigsby-style trem on it. Also, is that bridge pickup stock? It looks in really great shape compared to the neck pickup.

That's one awesome guitar Chris! How does it play and sound? Looks like a good deal for 350. I wish there were pawnshops over here!
You dont have to feel odd Don! I don't have a semi-hollow too, though I might want to pick one up some time.

I am a big fan of the <$400 guitar. THIS was a great find. Though I never cared for Bigsby vibrato units. But considering you got a hardshell case in the deal, that was especially good!

I'd never used a bigsby before. After installing new strings and giving it a fret dress I was pleasantly surprised to find that it stays in tune using the vibrato.
It has a really nice dark tone, think B.B. King and you're in the ballpark.
I couldn't believe the price either. I'm surprised that there are still good deals to be had at the pawn shop from time to time.

Regarding the pickups, they are both original, I just spent more time polishing one (can you tell which one).
I'm a big fan of Meguiars Scratch-X for making the paint look good. I follow it up with pure carnuba wax. The end result is that this guitar looks beautiful again. Should have taken before pics....

Haha oh yes I can most certainly tell which one got polished!
I have to also agree with Meguiar's Scratch-X. It's what I used to buff out my last project and it worked the best to remove some of the scratches and imperfections although it may be a bit to gritty for regular use.
