XA 1330 anniversary altered?

Post  hobster on Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:38 pm

Saw this one on ebay. Anniversary Spectrum III with 3 humbuckers? The knobs don't look original and seems to me this guitar was probably attacked with a chisel to carve room out for the new pups. Then a plate was attached over the pups to clean it up. Unless............ this is a wierd model i haven't seen.

Also noticed the plate in the back is unoriginal. Also overpriced for its condition.

Butchered.... no stringlock, the saddles have been moved about, the crack looks deeper than skin deep and the jack socket plate is not OEM either. Certainly I wouldn't pay $250 for it... Mad
