A little circumstantial but I agree you would think he might leave it. I had one refinished and they cleaned out the routes but not the channels. There should still be overspray in the channels. Always gold left in the channels of refinished gold top conversions for example
Yes, to remove the red spray tell is begging for trouble. Jaeger should know that I'm sure.
Bridge cavity might not have any. Neck will always have some
I beg to differ. A real Burst should have at least a bit of red in the bridge p.u. routing back cavity wall, from what I've seen/read about it. My reference is Eric Ernest, Jimmi, among others.
Too much red shading under the neck ring
As mentioned back in 2019, the guitar is re-refinished. I guess Fl. Jaeger was trying to recreate the look?
Plus, on top (no pun intended), a logo that noone in Kalamazoo 1959, would be the slightest proud of:
If he refinished the face of the headstock he might have oversprayed the logo changing the shape I guess. Top of the headstock looks a little wide but maybe that is angle..on top of that, sometimes things get over sanded and it can change the shape a bit since it is a known refin.
Why would he need to do that Jimmi? And even if he did, the logo shouldn't become such a disaster IMO..
Just playing devils advocate. There could have been damage. It doesn’t explain the other structural abnormalities that aren’t explained by a refin
I can always use a nice case.
?
There has been a rash of pickups on the market recently all smudged out in the bottom of the plate and feet conveniently obscuring the tooling marks..almost on purpose. What is up with the shape of the feet?
