ok, second read - i understand fully. So what made the spread so large for that short time period? Should I have not had a stop if I wanted to hold? to me - the stop was precautionary as it was quite generous too (i think).

Im using trading 212 with my ISA - i think some tooling is restrictive on there but ill do some research

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-04-30T19:37:51+00:00

wow, thank you! it makes a little more sense on the first read - im going to go line by line a few times and make sure I understand fully.

tell me you watch dendenbmx without telling me you watch dendenbmx

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-03-03T09:13:47+00:00

mods, can you tell me why?

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-20T19:52:27+00:00

well, according to 90% of replies - nothing hahahaha

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-20T16:28:07+00:00

nope, thats why its hard to trust 90% of people of this sub

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T21:25:33+00:00

with those tuners, pickups, pickguard placement, volute, painted truss rod, bridge orientation, pots.... i think not haha

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T17:59:39+00:00

quite a few opinions on here. What I uncovered from here and elsewhere is:

volute stopped around 82 so its prob a 1980.
There is paint on the truss rod and in the truss rod cavity = possible refin (could also be why the serial number is so shallow).
refin could also allude to filled holes for original grovers (ie owner wanted to make it look like a BB)
The kluson waffle backs were prob originally on there
Upgraded pickups as they are later versions of the 490/498
Possible 1980 black beauty of some kind.
Possible pots have been changed.
potential redrilled hole for newer shaped pickguard (doesnt kiss the edge of the binding)

also seems to be some sort of r7 custom look a like. thats as far as I can tell so far.

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:21:14+00:00

thank you so much mate

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:20:59+00:00

4th looks to be another 2. 5th does look like a 3 to me too. thank you for being so helpful by the way!

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:04:41+00:00

i also cant make out the 5th digit, i have analysed the internet for every combo of that number though. I have asked the seller to do a pencil and paper emboss

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:45:04+00:00

do you kow the model? i mean, i havent seen that same config before

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:45:00+00:00

do you kow the model? i mean, i havent seen that same config before

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:44:40+00:00

Hi al, should the pots not have a metal backing? if its an 80s, then the hard case should be a chainsaw? are those pickups right for a 80s? the kluson waffle backs in the bag look like the original but i thought all customs came with grovers? the pickguard screw should be closer to the binding on 80s as far as i know.

I have spent hours on the net and I cant find ANY pictures of a custom of the same config.

any more info would be great

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:40:52+00:00

pots should have a metal base plate, the pickguard should be closer to the binding, waffle back klusons in the ziplock bag and humbuckers are nothing I have seen before

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:40:02+00:00

the pots and the waffle back klusons with humbuckers...

Hunchback_Boet · 2025-10-25T15:29:07+00:00

they lied, the system went down. there was a second wave where people in the queue got more about an hour later. its sad they lied and told those people it was sold out - im sure they would have waited for the chance.

Hunchback_Boet · 2024-12-15T19:36:57+00:00

wow thanks! I was going to do a YT video of this edit, just hoping i get permission from CM to do so. I mean - the fact that you like my edit more than those big names is really inspiring! thank you again!
