We need a lot more pictures than just the headstock. Serial number, tuners, body, etc....

Non vintage tuners with Pat. logo seems a bit strange? I'm not too taken with the string tree either. And is that a hint of dark wood Truss nut ferrule (as per a MIM)?

Just a few hints in that picture indicate a fake to me. :(

+1

While a definitive judgment may be premature, it does indeed look a little bleak for the home team.

More pics would tell the tale.

Come on Dude, let's at least see some more pictures - but then he's not been here for over a week so wont even have seen the comments above :evil:

It does annoy me when people ask questions, which good meaning forum members invest their time in answering, and people don't even have the courtesy to even acknowledge them. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Possible scammer who's looking to hawk some POS that he's put together but wants a critique of his work before listing it somewhere......

Funny, I was thinking along the same lines. Didn't progress past level one, so not the most epic of efforts if that was the case.

At the begging I thought it was strange just to post a picture of part of the head stock, unless we were meant to come over all moist due to the Pat Pending logo?
