1984 GUILD X88 GUITAR PICKUP RING - BRIDGE / REAR - VINTAGE STAR BODY PARTS

Rockford, Illinois, 611**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

this is a broken part. There is a missing piece in the corner and the ring is split as well. I think you can glue it and probably still use it. I didn't try to glue it, I will leave that for the new owner. I don't think you will ever find another one of these up for sale as a ... more
