SOLD: Lag Arkane AK100 *£100 delivered inc hard case*

Bidley

This is a wonderful playing guitar. I've set it up with .10s and it plays beautifully, the neck is fast and the action is low. Nothing wrong with it, structurally, whatsoever, no buzzes or warps to be found. I love it and it's been my go-to guitar for band practice for a good couple of years, but I've got a posher Lag coming in, so I need the space!

Unfortunately the very thin finish is flaking off, and the neck is darkened and worn near the headstock on the bass side, and around and above the 12th fret on the treble side. I tried to capture as much of the neck as possible, there is a nice flame to it. Numerous dents and scratches.

The frets are in good condition, a little bit of wear but plenty of life left in them. Also, notice the unique 'curved' pickup selector switch.

The locking trem is solid, no arm included unfortunately.

I think this is an older one, as I can't find much info. I did email Lag after I bought it and they said it was pre-2000, if memory serves.

I changed the neck and bridge humbuckers for Irongear Hot Slag and Steamhammer, respectively. I also changed the knobs for some funky abalone-topped black ones, if I can find the original ones I'll include them. The rest of the hardware is a frosted/matt chrome.

The hardcase is a decent wooden one with tolex covering.

Be aware I've also listed this on eBay.

Bump for a tenner off!

Mate, that looks awfully familiar. Mind if I ask where you got it from?

Bidley

I bought it on eBay a year or two ago. I also posted a thread on here or MR about how much I loved it, perhaps that's where you've seen it before?

No...I almost bought one that looked exactly like that in my local GAS emporium (also missing the trem arm, too). For some reason, I specifically remember a ding in exactly the same place above/behind the bridge.

In any case, I may know somebody who could be interested in this. I'll pass it on and get back to you.

Bidley

Oh that's pretty cool. I suppose the wear is quite distinctive!

And thanks for that dude. I'm based in Cambridge, FYI!

Bidley

Bump because I need this gone!

Bidley

Bump for a bargain!

digitalscream

Sorry dude, my guy says "no"...which is a shame, because this is undoubtedly a better guitar than any that he has.

Bidley

No worries, it's a hard sell because it looks like it's been raped by a lawnmower, but it plays so well!

Thanks for asking in any case
