Yeeow! I wasn't ready for that.
Anyway, for a '79 the hardware and pickups look great. Perfect for restoring another vintage GB10.
The body is good only for firewood. |

Ouch! Saw a mid 50's Les Paul gold top that had suffered a similar fate. She had taken a hammer to it. Except with that one she managed to smash the neck to bits too.

Reminds me of the condition of Artfield's AM205, before he "purpleized" it. |

Why do women do this sort of thing? I guess it could be worse. They could take it out on your "clock set" while you're asleep

I hear it in a different way. Whenever I say no to clothing purchases I get the classic "what about all those guitars you buy?" But never has she smashed one! |

"Clock set"... it's between your legs mate. Two balls and a pendulum. I was waiting for a query on that. It's a colloquialism from the east end of London.

When this guitar was cracked, hundreds of miles away at that very instant, George Benson felt a sharp pain in his side, so please treat these endorsed models well. Lord knows you don't want to snap the neck off a Pat Metheny model if you have tickets to see him the same day.
