What is with the screws on the bridge pickup? That can't be stock...



Already has a Hipshot bridge. That would save me $120. With a discount like that, I would be crazy to pass on it...
Since I'm not really interested in it(OK, I am but can't justify it), I hadn't looked closely at the bridge pup-I never use the bridge pup-but them screws ain't right.:rollno:

Not to mention it's in Italy ($178.90 shipping) and is about $1k overpriced... (I assumed you were being facetious...) However, the gold HS bridge with black bolts and gold Grover tuners are very tasteful.
 
Looks like the previous owner flipped the threepoint out for a hipshot. Might or might not be an improvement depending on what camp you're in, but it's no longer stock and the price is at least $500 higher than the typical going rate for a stock 2013 goldy. Does look like it's in nice shape though.

That would be an improvement.
