Interesting but nice. No binding, knob, switch and jack placement and humbuckers? Looks like maybe a hand made replacement pickguard. Did they ever have Moseley vibrato's?

Still not as strange as this one.

So, tell us about yours.

Yes, the pickguard was made about 20 years ago by a local guitar shop, needless to say i was disappointed with the knob placement and the overall dimensions, so a few years back i bought a used original off of e-bay but haven't put it as it is in perfect shape i don't want to mess it up. the tuning knobs i replaced when i first got back 85 i got the same kind that where on it, i didn't know at the time they weren't correct. it is a early 65-66 sn ho-238 those came with the mosley and no binding i believe....the hum-buckers i have no idea.. the thing sounds huge thru the 66 buckingham no real feedback issues.. unless i want some.

Brutus, are you referring to the "no binding" to the F-Hole? Cause it looks as though you have
Binding on the Body of yours in your picture. And Yes, the Full Face Plate Moseley Trem
was used on the 65-66 Combo's. Later on, they would switch to the 2 piece System.....

I thought I would repost this as a comparison to the mini. I see it now. They did a great job on the proportions with the mini, unlike the ridiculous Gibson mini 335
