Never thought I'd actually own one of these but a great deal came up locally that I couldn't say no to. It's a standard spec Regius 7 with faded blue jeans finish, gloss clear coat, maple wings.
I'm the third owner, and the first apparently swapped out the original bridge pickup for a pegasus. Thing is I found they didn't install it right, using bolts that were too small for the Mayones retention system. Wasn't really planning surgery on my new purchase, but I fixed it all up today and enjoyed playing it properly for the first time tonight!
A few pics of the repair process
You can see the too small screws on the left. No idea why they did this. They also forgot to use springs under the pickup.
Bought new screws (M3, 15mm) but could only find silver. No worries, painted them with satin epoxy and baked with heatgun till dry. Also grabbed some black springs of the correct length/diameter.
Drilled out pickup bracket holes to 3mm
Going back in
Like new!
Outdoor shots once all back together, Excuse quality, light wasn't great late in the afternoon
