How come Well Hung Guitars have so many sunburst Standards for sale? Are they from a collection? I have scrolled through posts for the answer but apologies if I have somehow missed it.
Thanks for thatIf you meant Well Strung Guitars [formerly We Buy Guitars]... they are moving the collection from Songbirds Museum which recently closed. And also represent collections of investors.

Very cool.
On this pic, you can actually see the screws head & notch when magnified, so yes the patch job is outstanding I think.That older man you see in the picture is holding it with the bigsby, but you can't see it. Here it is with the same couch, wall, and shirt.
If, in fact, that bigsby was screwed into the top (which it may or may not be), that an impressive patch job. Also don't know how that funky bridge works, and how the current ABR would work with it. (Interesting the current saddle follow that same intonation pattern as that weird bridge.)
That funky bridge is the classic "dogbone" that is a floating bridge as used on archtops. It might be floating on this guitar. Likely to have intonation options. The compensation pattern is for wound G strings, so it will always be out of tune for plain G strings.Also don't know how that funky bridge works, and how the current ABR would work with it.

I'm also seeing covered tailpiece holes (?), the location & distance between them match exactly to a "normal" tailpiece. Am I right, or are my eyes deceiving me?
