yep, the price is pretty high for a dodgy hack job.

i kinda like the idea of a les Paul headstock on a V, just not this one :)

I sort of like it, but wouldn't buy anything from someone who uses ellipsis like that even if it was reasonably priced.

neck pickup looks interesting, PAF or patent number with the cover removed... maybe?  bridge is an early square footed dimarzio which generally sound pretty good too but not worth that much

the body is a right off and not worth keeping.  neck could be ok though but the heel looks rather messed with :?  my guess is 70's SG which broke at the heel and some of the parts were used to make this.  if thats correct then the neck pickup is most likely a patent number t-top - if its original to that neck

so yeah, maybe a couple of hundred dollars if you wanted to take a gamble on the pickup and parts

Albert King certainly was one sharp-looking bar-steward, wasn't he?
