Blimey, looks like this was routed by Luis Suarez.
Cool looking guitar though!
In theory I agree with you - the holes can't be uncut.
But lets use logic. :-)
The OP saw pictures of the guitar and I'm guessing he noticed it had humbuckers instead of single coils.
So he knew that 2 big holes had been cut in the scratchplate, because he could see them - and could conclude that similar sized holes existed in the body - because he could see the big massive humbuckers sticking out of it!
So it must be that when the seller said the change was reversible, he wasn't pretending that the holes in the scratchplate and body could be 'uncut' - simply that single coils could be refitted. Granted some work and replacement parts would be required but it could be reversed.
I don't think the OP was surprised that the guitar had been routed - just that a messy amateurish job had been done. :-)
That's not the point - nor is whether it matters what's under the guard when it's put back together. The point is that it was dishonestly described. No routed body can ever truthfully be described as 'reversible'. I don't think replacing the body counts .
I would actually quite like a Jag with humbuckers, so I might have been interested in it! I wouldn't have bought it with the intention of trying to put it back... but even then, I wouldn't have been too happy finding that level of hacking either.

I don't think I was sitting on the fence- I said I agree with ICBM, so obviously I agreed with him more. Just I sort of knew what Gagaryn meant, too. As opposed to situations where you totally agree with one viewpoint and think the other person's is silly.
But yeah I generally sit on the fence if at all possible. )
