ALMOST LIKE NEW. The guitar has obviously been barely played (if at all) and is in best functional and cosmetic condition. Apart from a few minimal surface blemishes on the pickguard/control plate cover & additional drilled holes on the back of the headstock, due to different temporary professionally installed tuners (see pictures), there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument. The electronics are working 100%, all hardware and frets are flawless, all parts still shine as new! Furthermore, the instrument has been thoroughly checked and fully set up in our workshop.

- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
