OK folks hopefully the dramatic heading gets your attention. If anybody is buying a PB-50 with the intention of modding it to look similar to this Be careful and remove the scratchplate first before reshaping the headstock. I found this lurking under mine. The method of running the pickup wire has changed, two holes are now drilled from the top angling into the control and pickup cavities. This change seems to have started with the 2018 batch. Not a problem if you keep the scratchplate but a refinish if you want to ditch the plate. Another PB-50 owner contacted me today reporting the same hole If you reshape the headstock before checking under the plate it'll be impossible to return so check first.

A sticker would solve the issue nicely.
