Freebird said:It also has a strange look to it as far as the selector switch wiring channel routing visible through the neck pickup cavity. Doesn't look like long tenon either, but maybe I just can't tell from the photo. The finish looks almost too shiny to be nitro, but once again it could just be the photos.

Typical Terada wiring channel. Would like to see better neck pics, and a couple pics of the back. From the front, in excellent condition.

I know some people scam but it could also just be legit "didn't know".
