Just found another basket case on the local sales site.

The scrawling is acrylic paint. I managed to remove most of it with alcohol. My customisation said the seller. It's an old SX. Paid fifty quid, probably too much.

Can anyone spot the fault? I didn't at first shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Machine heads are rubbish but Ive got some on the way together with strings from Gear4music.

Enlighten us!

I’m surprised nobody can see it. I’ll leave it up until tomorrow to see if anyone spots it.

The strings don't line up properly with the pickups?

Has it got an input jack on the front AND on the edge? Image isn't high enough resolution to tell.

I had an electrician in yesterday to do the electrical safety checks***. He turned out to be a keen guitarist. He spotted my guitars and asked me embarrassing questions such as "How long have you been playing?" (Ans: Owned guitars for 54 year but still can't play!) and "What kind of music do you play?" (Ans: See previous answer!)

He gave me his tips on how to go about it...







*** New regulations which came in last summer for private rental properties in England require this to be done every 5 years. Details HERE.

The strings don't line up properly with the pickups?

Oou, nearly!

 

[ColinJ]

Ouu, nearly!

They do seem to be diverging quite rapidly...

Are the strings actually bent over the top of the bottom pickup?
