It was missing the G string and I spent about a year looking for a new set but due to the extreme long scale I had no luck. So I took it to a great tech along with a copy of the Bands' Live album Rock of Ages with a pix of Danko and said go to it. ( I know,so young,so dumb ).Anyways he put a Dimazio Pre pickup,removed the mystery pickup and installed a Badass Bridge and did a beautiful job but it still didn't sound that good. So being a little older and hopefully smarter I had a flight case Built for it and it still resides under my pool table in the basement.I wonder what it's worth now ?
