There is an aluminum bar running through the body [part of the neck, or attached to the neck] that is anchored at the tailpiece. I'm not sure what that screw is for.

And the front strap button is on the wrong side [below the neck] with no sign of it ever being on the top side. :wah

I'll post a few in a couple days or so. I have a red one and a sunburst one, both with changed pickups. Also have a red Eastwood (which is a great playing guitar.)
