This is a reluctant sale for me. I thought this one would be with me for a while but I just find myself playing it less and less and it really does deserve to be used. These are very rare in the UK. I've done a quick scout around and this seems to be the only for sale in the UK currently. I know I'll regret it one day but buying a house also twists my arm more that one of my guitars must go. It was purchased from PMT in Oxford in December last year.

This is the same scale length as an LP, but the bridge and neck are set much further into the body which makes for a very compact and playable guitar. Fitted with Gibson USA BurstBuckers with custom pole pieces for this guitar it sounds brilliant; plenty of bite on a crunch channel but cleans up with clarity.

Condition wise it has been used are there are some signs of use. Some slight swirling on the back, unavoidable on a shiny black guitar! Slight tarnishing on the gold (coated) hardware at the bridge. There is a slight nick in the clearcoat over the binding on the high E side at the 15th fret. Not noticeable whilst playing, and I'm fairly sure it must have been there since new and I missed it in the store! I think there is a bit of dust in the toggle switch too. Included is the custom fitted hardcase which does have a few marks on it (and it is custom made, it doesn't quite fit an LP comfortably). Comes with gold strap locks and all case candy is present. I changed the truss rod cover to a plain one rather than the standard gold, and swapped the 'snot green' tuners for a set of locking gold head tuners for a more Custom look. Both the original truss rod cover and tuners are included and in perfect condition.
