What a beauty! Where did you manage to find something that pristine? Looks like it just came off the assembly line.

What a beautiful guitar! You can't beat the old Buds for looking good. That guitar never spent any time in a smoke filled bar... Enjoy it and have fun!

I was posted here on the forum. I just happened to see it within 56 minutes and was first responder. Yes it is a 3&2 changer. My xmas shopping is done for me plus I used the money for everyone else's presents, hope they understand.

Levers,bell-cranks swapped with solid metal (all that’s left is stop screw brackets and tops of changer fingers)
Pickups are tru tones too, wound to 14k that I’m gonna get Fralin to wax pot and maybe add a 7k coil tap (will add a 7k resistor to bring volume up to same level)
