Got the S470!

Well, I just picked up the S470. The body is kind of scratched up, but the neck is in terrific shape. It's a plain jane black one, but I think some creme zebra pups would look pretty cool and give it a good contrast. The rosewood is really dark; looks like ebony! The thing that surprised me was how well it stayed in tune after some dive bombs - party, bonus!

I'll post some pics when I get a second. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks. I cleaned her up a bit, changed the strings, and adjusted the relief. I think it had 10s, but I put 9s on. When I took the trem cover off, I noticed 4 springs. Is this normal? I'm wondering if this has something to do with it returning to pitch so well.

Still have to polish the hardware, it's really tarnished. Other than that, no problems.
