@Hattigol  he’s after offers as he’s unsure what’s it really worth wether it’s just parts or as a project

Doesn't matter - the rules don't ask for a price "if you know what it's worth".

That bridge pickup cut out is rough.  

Can I see photos of the binding? How rotten is it?

What happened with the tuners? If that torn wood where the tuners are mounted (crookedly). 

It’s an awful mess, and looks like a lot of skilled work is needed to get this looking and playing half decent. 

I’d be all in at £250 in that condition.

So to be fair to potential purchasers and be within the forum rules put a price on the parts value or peddle it elsewhere…..

£400-500 would buy it

well, everything is wrong about it.  Even the Bigsby is a B3, not a B6. That’s a fixed arm Bigsby for a jet.  The whole has been butchered. It’s honestly an uneconomic repair.  The sheer cost of putting that guitar right is astronomical,  the damage to the headstock from bodged tuners is horrific. 

Even a great condition single Anniversary with original paint, parts, pickup, case and intact binding is only worth around £1300 or thereabouts. 

 

This is no get rich quick model!
