Thoughts? I've never seen a JS with a natural neck like that. PU toggle looks changed although slipping plastic over the original toggle could do that. That style of headstock inlay seems to have been more common on JS I than II but is feasible. All the long scale JS's I can recall had "LS" on the truss rod cover. Don't see that in the pictures. Tuners don't look stock and it doesn't look like the serial number was impressed on the back of the headstock.
Makes me wonder if someone built a new neck, perhaps extending the scale length? Does that make sense or is it much more reasonable that they took the neck off and stripped the finish?
At $495 it sounds like a project bass or a candidate for Dark Stars. (Don't you love putting $400 worth of PU on a $500 bass?) 8)
