Found a cheap one today, a '70s Vibra SG... Not a lot online for it, maybe made by Aria? But also looks identical to a Hondo. Brown photo is mine, red is a Hondo.
Decent shape, lots of soft dings though, maybe steam them would get rid of them.
One downside is thst the trem arm is snapped off, and not likely to find parts for it.
So question is, even though not a sought after guitar (I don't think) how much do you keep original? Part of me hates modifying vintage stuff and wants to just fix what's there... But part of me says go get a bigsby style bridge and replace the pots and switches.
How do you guys approach this stuff?
