New uncirculated refin '59 ?

Dimitri92 · Nov 4, 2019

Not a connoisseur like a lot of you here on the Vintage part. But I just spotted this, thought I'd share:

Supposedly an uncirculated refinned 1959 burst. Refin by the master florian jaeger.
Looks great on the photos

Wow, that's a nice one! I bet it sounds great and will sound even better six-eight months down the line after the lacquer has dried.

The bottoms of the PAFs look like archeological relics. :dang Is that normal?

And what's up with the odd legs on the PAFs? I don't ever recall seeing PAFs that looked like that? Am I missing something?

" Both PAF's Baseplate legs have had a small side cut."

The braided pu wire is also 3-stranded... resoldered and new pu leads but not the vintage 2-stranded

I did get a weird vibe from the lack of stickers on the base as well as the funky legs , and I don't think the pickups pass the sniff test . Guitar looks nice for a refin

Those pickup base legs have been obviously hand cut "after the fact". :ganz

Missing this edges on the alleged PAFs make it harder to authenticate them.

Some of those screw heads appear to be steel.
