Hi All,

I've decided to put my Blindsider up for sale as I'm really looking to thin the herd and free up some cash. 

Link to St Blues website below:

https://www.saintblues.com/products/the-blindsider-1

Body: Alder with Lacquer Finish

Neck: 25.5 inch Maple with Pau Ferro fingerboard & Genuine Bone nut

Hardware: Graduated Sperzel Tuning Machines 18:1 Ratio, 18% Nickel/Steel Medium Jumbo Frets, Dunlop 'Dual Design' Strap Buttons, Hipshot Bridge, Bourns Potentiometers, Nickel Plated Control Plate, electrosocket jack mount

It's a HSS layout but there's a coil tap on the volume pot for the bridge pickup to make it a single coil.  The pickups are nicely balanced and when you switch to the humbucker in the bridge you don't experience a massive jump in volume, just thickens up the sound nicely.  

It does have a few dings and chips, the plastic washer to the tremolo pocket is missing so the trem arm is loose but I used some double-sided tape to secure it and there is lacquer cracking around the body near the body binding and could do with a set up.  The case has a tear in the top of the tolex but structurally it is sound. 

All of these issues are reflected in the price that I'm putting it up for.  The frets are in good nick and the electronics/tuners all work fine.  

Looking for £600 delivered, which I think is a good price for a made in the USA, with quality woods and pickups with a hardshell case I think.

    Hey!  According to the St. Blues website it's 1 11/16" and sorry, I'm in Newcastle, didn't realise my profile still had me listed as London!  My fault!  I can post though as I have a box and packing materials.

    These US-St. Blues are incredibly toneful instruments. Even the Korean mades were stellar. My Blindsider is Korean and I have a US-Bluesmaster, too.
    GLWTS!
