McCarty humbuckers - treble and bass available

Currently loaded in a swamp ash special but I'll be removing them tomorrow so I can grab some more pictures. Can include pickup rings, screws & springs. Great sounding pickups!

Looking for £90 per pickup or £165 for the pair inc shipping. (all O.N.O)

PRS Swamp Ash Special Body - £350 ono.

Genuine USA PRS swamp ash special body - from a swamp ash special used at the 2000 NAMM show. The neck was in bad shape (and in my ill-advised attempt to make it better, I made it worse!) Thankfully, the same fate did not befall the body - (I didn't touch it Mum, honest!)
In ruby red, lovely grain through the finish. Some wear on the rear of the top horn. This could make a great project for someone - just not me - I'm stepping away from the tools and you'll all thank me for it I'm sure.

All parts of this guitar will be available (apart from the neck), I just haven't stripped it to fully identify some of the parts yet. Let me know if you are interested in any of it!

Based in Leeds & happy to post any parts at buyer's cost

    Hi what was wrong with the neck? 
    And in what way is it worse now ?
    And finally what would you want for the guitar as a whole ?

    The neck had had a pretty big repair (this was done very well and I’ve been sent video run downs of the work undertaken). However, when it arrived with me, the fret ends were very sharp. They’d been snipped off, some were a tiny bit short, but none had been rounded off and we’re like razor blades. I tried to round them off myself (as finances didn’t allow me to get a luthier involved) but they’re not pretty and I’ve likely taken too much off. 
    It plays fine and is more comfortable than the sharp fret edges but it’s certainly a way away from perfect and would likely need a full refret to be spot on.

    In terms of the whole guitar, I’m open to offers to be honest!
