I had this in the wrong section.

I picked this up at a great price a month ago but its a basket case. Holger at riverfront music/Komit amps has it in his shop doing his magic.

My repair guy is going to plug and touch up the holes and refret. Next stop will be the stage. Those 69 pickups should sound good.

Mark, you are entering my kind of restoration project. Love the mojo. It should turn out great.
