Starting bid is pretty low, but it looks like this guitar has been repaired at least once. Look at the pictures carefully and ask questions before bidding.

It's at $178, now

Does anyone know if the Mothership does headstock repairs to replace broken ears?

I also see two screws, in the back of the neck, just above the bolt on plate that can't be a factory job. The wood isn't stained.

I think you're looking at poor photography is all. That's light relfections.

 

Also, this is a Deacon, not a Breadwinner

Check the next to the last photo, on the second row of shots. If you use the zoom feature to get a close up, I swear that looks like a screw on either side of the neck, with a counter sunk hole.

LOL John...check the 3rd to last photo. You will see (what I believe is a gable of a house) a background reflection in that same area. It is I agree with Damon...wrong time of day, or poor angle to shoot from that spot. It is in almost every picture...
