I'm reaching here. Judging by the general abuse and neglect shown in those stellar photos.....I think what happened is, a gorilla of a guitarist slammed the toggle right through the top wood and bought a pickguard, drilled a hole in it for the toggle, and viola! 1 Quote

Ham Rex Posted yesterday at 02:53 AM Posted yesterday at 02:53 AM (edited) Where is the binding around the body? Wouldn't that still be there? I thought the black ones (Pepper) still had a flame top just like a darkburst, Sunburst, Greenburst and White (Salt) Seems it was just an Explorer build not a bound top. Hmmm.

You could also order a solid mahogany Standard back then (4-digit era) - no bound veneer top. I've got one and can name at least 8-9 others like that! 2 Quote
