Needs a bunch of work done (and a new bridge) but should be a cool project.

Wide coil blade pickup that'll probably need to be rewound.

Pots and capacitor are probably WW2 surplus from a Sherman tank.
Got $50 in it so I'm keen to get it going. Found a couple of other 'project ' jems that I'll post about soon.

Assume you’ve read Deke’s books? About guitar safaris?
