Sold - G&L ASAT Classic Tribute (affordable Tele awesomeness) price drop

this weekend I'm looking to wave byebye to my rather splendid G&L.
It's the ASAT Classic, made in Indonesia. Officially it's in the 'clear orange' finish, but I regard it more as a 'trans-baby poo'. But fear not - it's a lovely thing.
When I bought it, it had been 'upgraded' with some no-name pickups: the guy who sold it to me claimed it was a Mojo or Creamery Tele-sized P90 in the bridge and a fender pickup in the neck but I'm not convinced [edit: the bridge was clearly a SD Vintage Broadcaster pickup, but the neck pickup was not identifiable]. While the bridge was great it was hideously mis-matched with the neck so I have installed a set of Alegree's Cirrostratus pickups, which are mighty fine.
I don't have a case for it so would prefer some form of face to face exchange somewhere in the South East (live in Haywards Heath, work in London): motorway services, dogging spots, lairy boozers - you know the drill. If postage is the only way - I can figure summink out.
How about £275 £250 (plus postage if absolutely necessary)?
Oh and I have a plain black guard for it too. The one on it was custom cut by some dude on ebay.

No interest in some Indonesian loveliness? It's as tasty as Gado Gado or Nasi Goreng...
Happy to entertain offers if I've priced it too firm.

How is the actiion/setup/neck/stability? I generally play 11s (although this dodgy one was 9s/10s); would it be ok with that? Also, no microphonic nasties from neck PU at high volume/gain?
Sorry to be a dick!
I play 9-46 or 10s and it plays really well with that. Can't comment on 11s as my little princess fingers wouldn't cope. As I mention in the first post: the pickups are hand-wound aftermarket units from Alegree and are really very nice indeed. One of the forum stalwarts did a review of them here and I've had them in two guitars. Happy to go to PM/whatsapp to discuss
