The output jack has been replaced with a Strat style. 2. The peghead has been modified from its original shape. These repairs look functional enough from the photographs. They are constistant with what happens when a bass is plugged in and left on a stand unattended. Later, someone walks by and trips on the cable. The bass tumbles. The front mounted jack can suffer damage from a fall. The Strat style jack plate would cover this. The peghead can get damaged from bouncing around. If the joint at the nut is not damaged, any more or less "decorative" damage can be repaired as seen on this bass. A typical Elan pegehad looks much more like this: To restore the peghead to original is possible, but will cost $450 at today's prices to scarf a new peghead in place and spot refinish. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4919 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 4:04 pm:    Thanks Mica! nickskincoolguy New Username: nickskincoolguy Post Number: 3 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2007 - 1:41 am:    Thank you all for the information...
