Cuz I didnt wanna use an import spec pot. All electronics again are new, but otherwise are replicating what I generally saw in the pocket and cross referencing to the hagstrom guitar with 4 switches for where wires were missing/ ripped out. It was originally found next to a dumpster by my friend

Neck itself has no relief right now but needs it once it gets shimmed and then maybe a little lower on nut slots if I want, but otherwise would be in pretty good order! Switches are slightly wider than originals, but fit in same holes. Pot is bigger and with bigger shaft so had to bore hole a little

Had to remake the nut with a bone blank since its sorta a weird width and depth. Original was plastic and owner cut really low deep v cuts into it so strings would catch and also was too low to clear frets. Neck probably needs a shim to reduce string height towards bridge

So in saying that it's a, if it's 1000-2000 for potential recovery, and it's an issue that can be even 10% chance of DIY success judt to get it to work long enough to load that 15gb or less to a new ssd I'd bite and want a route to try worst case yknow. If I havnt said already, havnt opened it

Data centers for recovery seem to start around 300 for even a 1tb drive, so my 7tb/16 seems horribly expensive in comparison. Let alone im really only needing at worst 100 gigs and at best honestly under 15 gigs of personal photos n videos n audio I care about

It got jostled/shaken a bit and pretty much been disconnected since besides plugging it in on a few trials to test internally vs with the enclosure adapter, the first time when it disconnected and now to get the sound. I assume something with the heads getting stuck but I'm ignorant to hdd hardware

Im still sucked in from the "networking for social media creators" perspective otherwise I'd reasonably be far gone lol

I guess for someone 💀

He probably sold it for the Twitter ad

Right 💀

Also can do local production / recording in house or w/ mobile setup in north texas. Can also do gear/mix/production consults as well. Don't have the rep, but for those on inexpensive side I believe i can punch far above
