GONE: Corvus Esquire+

Corvus

Ideally for sale but possible trade or px, amps included etc. And there's various smaller things I'm after.

£800 collected (Cambridge area) or can be couriered with a hard case at £890.
Basically looking to recover costs plus a bit, with seven customer guitars coming next week it's too crowded here.

So it's an Esquire with a hidden neck pickup --

The body is lightened European poplar with a maple top
Rosewood/maple neck - medium chunkular at approx 23.5mm / 24mm (1st & 12th), 43mm wide bone nut
Medium jumbo frets, 12" radius
Head-adjust dual action trussrod
Curved neck plate, recessed into the body, for better top fret access
Catswhisker Nocaster bridge pickup, Q Pickups neck
Gotoh tuners, Fender bridge, CTS/Switchcraft electrics with Electrosocket
Satin nitro body & neck (it's kind of a more cheerful light sky or light sonic-type blue than the pics probably look)

Weight 7lbs dead on

The hidden pickup works well with very light compression or any level of drive from the very lightest hair up - basically at bone clean, it's like the tone control is knocked back very slightly. But the slightest touch of compress or dirt brings it right to life - as per vid clipette here

It could be easily converted to normal neck pickups with a new p/g, there's a P90 rout in there so minihum, Filtertron size things will also drop in.

Just such a great looking build, wish I had the cash! Should really put something or other up for sale.

I haven't played this but I've played some of Bill's other builds and had him do work on 3 of my guitars and you can be assured this will be excellent.

This a bargain for a lovely guitar by a great builder. I bet it plays like a dream. 

Corvus

Thanks very much all!

Also, open to trades. Feel a bit in a rut and open to guitars of all sorts, and amps, to try and lively things up a bit.

If only I had the money, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Really quite fancy it.
