Sure looks like the same grain and wood!
Exemplar: Unknown
In fact I held up Piney and it is identical in many ways except the trem rout.
Exemplar: Known
The
Unknown body came from Marty as did Ol Piney
Known.
Marty told me about it back when I bought Piney and the sister that became Pine burst. Said the guy might be interested in selling. At the time I was looking for a trem routed Tele. There was never a discussion of it being a relative of Piney cause hell Piney really wasn't even a guitar then.
What do you guys think? Marty seems to agree it could be based on the pic. Hard to believe but if it's true WOW!
