[SOLVED/UPDATE] I feel like it shouldn’t exist. What is it?
[SOLVED! See Edit]
Acquired through a gear trade in a lot of guitar parts. It’s got the cutout on the bottom like vola, and the back, and the body is really well made. everything else is just weird, man. I’m at a complete loss. Headstock has a thick layer of black paint and (what looks like a cricket decal) says ‘Excalibur’.
Edit: This blew up overnight haha! 30k+ views, no correct answers. For shame. /s
The guy who did the trade with me actually saw this and messaged me! He knew more than I thought he did. I wanna say he actually messaged the original owner, but i’m not sure. As it turns out, the body is a chopped Godin. The craftsmanship on the bottom button is unironically really well done. I would’ve missed it everytime. The neck comes from a Viger Excalibur, which is kinda upsetting seeing as they’re 2k+ guitars and the original owner sanded it down and poured paint on it. Just another cool quirk of the thing! haha.
REGARDLESS! It’s a really neat luthier special.
I’m surprised by the electronics, honestly. Pickup seems cheap, but the switch and the pots are full size. Pick guard is primo.
I will be bringing this dude back to life in due time! I’ve got 22awg coming in the mail soon. I ran out shortly before receiving the axe haha. If you have any tips, concerns, or ideas, please feel free to reach out! I’ll make a follow up post once it’s playable!
A HUGE thanks to everyone who took a crack at ID’ing, and an ever bigger thanks to those who made me chuckle. JGD
