Just not playing this one like I thought I would, althought it's perfect and sounds like a dream. I'll probably regret selling it, but I'd like to have the $$ in reserve for something else. I'm not looking to make any $$ on it here, just get out of it what I have in it. If I have to go to eBay, I'll probably start a few hundred higher.
Here are the details:
1998 Model
Black Historic Case
No Certificate (not issued before 2001 I believe)
Light - 8.1 lbs
Nickel Covered Seth Lovers (both double cream underneath) - I also have the BB2 and 3 that came stock.
Aged Hardware
Lightweight Tailpiece (standard on Historics)
New ABR-1 bridge, replaced under warranty (saddles were not cut properly, Theodie took care of the new one nicely)
New Bone Nut (installed and dressed by Theodie)
Very nice fretwork, no sharp edges or dressing issues
Nice FAT neck....slightly larger than a 50's profile, common on 57's
There are no dings, dents, issues, ect on the top. The back of the guitar has some slight worming from the previous owner, but nothing is through the wood. I'm picky about my gear, and this was fine with me. 9 out of 10 conservatively because of the worming. The grain on the back of the body is nice and straight...no swirling or wavy grain...like an arrow, light back. I'll get some more detailed pics up in a day or two as I am out of town.
I've played a few historic GT's, and this one is great sounding....I know I'll kick myself later for selling it. Great clarity and a nice woody tone. Has a nice balanced tone (not to mention loud) tone when played unplugged, and sounds like a dream thru my Marshall.
$1700 + Shipping with the BB2 and 3 installed.
$1800 + Shipping with the double cream Seth's (nickel covered)
$1900 + Shipping if you want both sets of pups
Any of you who don't know me can see my feedback here in the good trader thread...been a member for 3 years at least. eBay feedback is Jeff_H66.
It will ship in the historic case, and inside a Gibson Box, just as I received it.
