From what I've seen these where often butchered by righty players who played them with reverse headstock.

Ya think he could get a pair of tweezers and get that hair off where the D string is?

Looks like the head stock is refinished & the decal isn't original. It's not under the finish and I don't believe it's the correct configuration.

3000 USD for a neck? Ridiculous.

If you look at that bridge you can clearly tell it was setup to play righty so no wonder the body is not listed, someone must have chopped the upper horn and moved the controls.

It was a HOMEMADE body.
