If the paint was stripped they did an incredible job.

Any chance you could pull a DC resistance reading off that JB ?

That's what I was thinking too, especially with those Kramer finishes. They were thick enough to survive a nuclear blast.

Looks great! The originals are awesome guitars. Tone machines.Ive owned 4 originals.Even an ultra rare Knapp painted lightning.Ive been eyeing a Knightswan ii but it's way out of line price wise.

Honduras mahogany not that new grown in Fiji stuff either . I'd be shocked if that was refinished because it looks immaculate .

That’s an incredible deal on that. This JBJ alone is worth at least ~$160

You guys would have shit if ya saw the factory floor. They had giant barrels full of those pups and so many guys I know used to grab em by the handfuls. They had A LOT of problems with theft.
Nice guitar. HNGD!

People will pay $160 for a JBJ? That's fricken nuts, and if true, I think I have about 15 of them just sitting in a drawer. Time to cash in lol

As for the Swan, beautiful guitar. Finish is 100% stripped, no factory natural finish like that. Not that it matters, it looks killer - almost criminal to cover it up. Also, any shop that sold you a real Nightswan for a hair over 4 bills has lost their mind, I even sold my shitty (in my opinion) 2020 Nightswan for more than that!

Those are completed sales. eBay too. I personally sold one 2 months ago for $150 and it sold in 2 hours.

I showed this in another thread, but here's my Knapp Aztec. It actually looks like there's a Lightning Sky finish under it. Looking around on Google, it seems like other Knapp Aztecs have the same look going on. Weird.
It's a bit worse for the wear but still a great player.

I always thought that those were cool back in the day. The Aztec above is the look that I would have to go with though. I hate middle pickup placements.
