&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Hi Darren,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; No worries, the 79 Custom does have a =
maple neck and as far<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; as<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; we<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; can<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; tell it&#39;s all original apart from =
maybe the fine tune tail<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; piece,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; not<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; sure if that was added later or came o=
n the guitar from new.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; That is a very generous offer for your=
 78 Pro Deluxe which we<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; wouldn&#39;t<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; be able to match.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
