So I'm looking to sell my US Masters HSS Vector. This thing plays really nicely, and sounds great as well. I don't know all the specifications, but I'll do my best.
Northern Hard Ash Body (looks like Ash, weighs like Mahogany, so I'm guessing this is what it is)
Birdseye maple neck (very subtle, but very cool)
Pao Ferro fretboard
Bill Lawrence "Power" pickups (US Masters calls them "Power")
Wilkinson Tremolo
Sperzel Tuners
Volume/tone dual concentric knob and unknown tone knob
5-way switch
The unknown tone knob is...well...unknown to me! I'm not sure exactly what it does, but it makes the single coils sound more open (I can't describe it, sorry). I can post a picture of the wiring if someone wants. The unknown knob is also a push/pull that splits the bridge (or at least it sounds that way).
Here are some pictures (some = a crapload)

Why am I selling this? Well, I don't need a second guitar with a tremolo. If I'm going to have a tremolo, then I want it to be able to do whatever the hell I want, so now I have a Floyd-equipped guitar (RG550). That's pretty much it. It plays very nicely and looks classy.
Price, you ask? Well, the retail value of a Vector with birdseye maple neck and Wilkinson tremolo is $2349 (factory direct = $1619). Since it is in almost impeccable condition, I'm looking for $900 shipped. It comes in a hard case with original tremolo bar and the strings are pretty new (that's like saving 5 dollars yay!)
