Not sure what to make of it, but I am starting to lean toward this being done by the hand of someone who was just bored with it. New, this guitar would have been pretty nice looking, all white plastics, black finish and even has an ebony board! I don't understand the motivation sometimes... someone even put a Bigsby on it at one point... another thing that the dealer (employee that accepted this on trade) was somehow duped into believing was a factory feature.
As I mentioned above, I had to Dremel the nut off to change the pot - but I have also done this a few times before... I once had a 2000 Fender Strat American Deluxe that after a few tours I had to Dremel off the pot's nut also because it was also crazy corroded from all the sweat that got into it... and this being a 1991, I suppose it isn't impossible.
BUT, my research is leading me to believe that it is not water damage... the water damaged guitars that I can see are in much worse condition... glued joints coming undone, finish basically stripping away, not really checking like this.
Anyway, I should be receiving my blacklist today... that will help identify things a bit.
Thanks all!!!
