This isn't a 'for sale' post (yet) but I really never play it and it's had a rough life so a 'collector' wouldn't be interested in it at all.
Sometimes I thing the Burns trem might be worth more than the guitar but that would be a tragedy, it sounds and plays great. The neck is just a little too chunky for my taste and that's pretty much the only reason I don't play it.
The bridge has been relocated more times than Henry Hill, no idea why but it's in the right place now.
There's mystery holes and numbers etc all over (mainly the back).
The pickguard looks like Salvador Dali made it (although it is original).
There's a crack in the headstock that appears stable (it's gotten no worse since I've owned it).
The frets were so low it was virtually unplayable when I got it, so I refret it.
The HiLoTron was long gone and it had a Power'Tron in it when I received it, I needed that for another project but managed to find a Mega'tron to put in.
Tuning stability was terrible with the Burns, so I wrapped the strings backwards on it, essentially making it a hardtail. MUCH better now. Never did have the trem bar, it had a butter knife with a hole drilled in the end on it when I received it, I think I tossed that out.
Mojo by the bucket load.
Sadly, if this were a Gibson or a Fender, there would be big bucks involved.
So tell me, what would you say a way cool guitar in this condition sell for? In your opinion of course.
