This is a shame though :/ It'd have been better if he had done it MIM. They have the plastic binding, and he could have said he added the second tree for "stability"

Ok,guys promised me refund when he gets the funds together,problem is when i took the guitar apart to take photos for you all ( yes its your fault!)now the bridge pickup doesnt work at all!!Couldnt have been anymore careful damnit.
There is s little bare ended wire that sticks out of the wood,i think this is meant to make contact with the underside of the bridge plate?I thought this was why pickup now isnt working,made sure this protruded more but put it back together still no sound from pickup??No wires have come off there solder joints,anyone any ideas?

Could be that the guy wired the pickup in reverse. So the ground wire going to the bridge (which is correct) is shorting all of the pickup to ground. Try taping up the end of that wire.

ANYWAY it's not your fault he sold you a dud that doesn't work. As for getting the funds together, sod that. You want your money now.
