Sometimes it works out. This guitar came in a while ago wearing a not at all good re fret job and a wrong pickup in the bridge position. It was a little sad. I just had the guitar refretted by Tony Schroom and I can say it is perhaps the best re fret job I have noticed. The guitar is hard to put down, he did an amazing job. The rear pickup is a patent sticker T top and the front is a patent sticker pre T top that came in the guitar. One pot is changed. The guitar does not have a lot if wear and there are no cracks or breaks or real damage. If anyone decides to buy this I think there would be no regrets. Sorry for the boring ad.
