Hey gang,

I was looking at this on ebay -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0994399151

Does anyone know if anything looks original on it? The neck is not stamped, body looks repainted, etc. I could possibly get it cheaper but I was curious if anyone had a thought on what it would be worth.

Thanks,

The Doc

I have nothing factual to offer you on specifics of that guitar..I only want to say any time someone is selling something and they have almost an entire page consisting of a disclaimer I would avoid it like the plague..but this is just my opinion

No......it's not.

But it's been severely and irreversibly bastardized by the installation of a hardtail Strat bridge complete with string-through ferrules for rear loading at the back of the body. The guitar has been listed on Ebay at least twice......and I'm pretty certain that we've seen it mentioned on this forum before.

Thanks gang. I decided to pass. Want to find one that is original. If anyone has any leads on a stock or close to stock Duo let me know. Earlier model years are better.
