Odd Burns Sonic on eBay

Has anyone seen a viNtage sonic like this. The seller claims it's all original but that single pick-up looks very odd to me. You can see it HERE

Looks like a PU from a Top Twenty or a Woolies Audition special to me. I had both at one time

David, I posted a question, too, and mentioned that it could cause legal problems if the guitar has
been modified - he does have one bidder at £400. No reply, though.

Apart from the replacement pickup and the replacement knobs, it's had a new plate made from Trafolite.
At this rate my Artist (see avatar) will be worth a million pounds soon!
