Hi All
First post here for me. Be gentle
I've been given custody of this Goldstar Sound. Could you fine folk help me ID an age and model number please?
It's been hacked about a bit... Bridge and neck plate are some heavy brass type, the body cavity has been cut up to fit a humbucker in the bridge at some point, there may have been a preamp installed (extra hole in the pick guard), and the bottom tone pot has been modded for a push/pull type pickup configuration
I think the tuners, pickups, volume and tone 1 pots are original? It does have a tweed case (that wasn't passed onto me).
The finish looks like a very thin Poly (to me) but there is wear as I'd see normally with Nitro?
I've still to discuss, with the owner, how much I can do to the guitar but I'd like to refurbish it as much as possible and get it gigging again. Planning on using Gotoh relic hardware/parts to do so. Good idea? Better suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Andy
