SOLD
This is a tough sell, because I missed the Feline Derrig I had and as soon as I saw this for sale I grabbed it. So why you may ask, is it for sale?
Well, put simply I have a number of HH guitars and I've never really bonded with the pickups in this, in fact I really don't like them now at all. Now you may ask why not just change the pickups? To be honest I considered it, but I think even with another set in it, and as good a guitar as this is, I would pick up my Les Paul first or my Tokai 335 which is what really nicked the Lions spot. I'm a sucker for feeling nitro under my hands and as playable as this Lion is, Jon did such a great job making my Gibson as good as it can be, that I invariably pick that.
Anyway, this is a superb guitar and I like green too, this looks great on a guitar hanger, but it's too good not to be used. Its pretty much in excellent condition, there's no worming to the back but there are some light scratches which would probably polish out, you really have to look to find them. There's no dents or dings, barely any fret wear, and the only blemish I can see isn't a dent as such but a literally tiny little sinkage of finish around the Feline logo which has shows as a small dimple, nothing more. For an 11-12 year old guitar it's is amazing condition. The top carve is lush.
Comes complete with it's branded Hiscox case and the certificate etc. it also includes the Dunlop Strap locks still boxed and unused (not pictured), when I dig them out!
My understanding (due to BKP not labelling things) is that the pickups are Riif Raffs based on the DC resistance measurements and chatting to Jon about it. They certainly fit that tonal description anyway. They metered at 7.2k Neck and 7.9k bridge which when you factor in them being wired in pretty much puts them nailed on at factory 7.4 and 8.2.
Weight is 7lbs 15oz - which for a single cut is nuts!
Specs below, looking for SOLD £2150 inclusive of insured shipping - I can arrange it to be shipped but would sooner not ideally as I'd hate for this to be damaged in transit. I'm happy to meet up within a short distance of Ibstock, Leicestershire and I'm currently driving to Nottingham for work so can meet around there too.
