My old G&L 1K had some good honest wear n tear
And the finish on late 70s Shergolds is notorious for buckling and peeling

I thought the first one was Vega's for a sec but then I saw it wasn't scrungy enough. Then, there it is. Historic but it looks like it could give you pink eye. Nice bunch there!...you feelin'a bit... distressed today?

I dig the Shergold a lot. Had a wunkay with the same finish but rosewood. That was a nice bass.
Goofy decal and kitchen drawer pull thumb rest aside, I do like that one.From eBay - no affiliation. Im guessing it's a "heavy relic"-job, and actually a pretty good one at that. Advertised as a 1990 USA Fender P. Maybe it started it's life as that, but the neck plate sez'; "Freedom Custom Guitar Research - Tokyo Japan"
CONDITION
Neck is fine.
Truss rod works fine.
The guitar may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please understand that this is a vintage item.
Ready to play when you get.

yikes! someone has acid for sweat! (tug-bar)And a missing screw - that is distressing!

Even if it is a 1990 Fender neck - decal is bogus (too small)... and also probably not a FCS, or that would be a selling point. They should have just labeled it Freedom Custom Guitar Research. or FCGR.

I saw him play that "shark" bass a couple of times (he's a Bay Area guy) - it was like that when he got it! Talk about road-worn!
An off-the-charts player and super nice guy!Shot at his 60th B-day 'Rash' at Sweetwater's in Mill Valley.
