The guitar has been played! The finish looks great but there are two sizable dings and a scratch near the tone and headstock. These are displayed in the pics above.

Bridge is fully functional and surprisingly very clean. Not a bit of rust or corrosion. No stripped screws. Trem arm that comes with the bridge is not original and is a very tight fit. It works though.

Something's funky with the volume pot. It always stays on; can't get it to cut out. All the electronics/wires are aftermarket as you can see in the pic. I'm not certain what everything is though.

The neck is in amazing shape. I can only find one scratch on the back of it and it's barely noticeable. The finish still feels brand new. The fretboard isn't dry and is healthy with no cracks. Frets have plenty of life left. Feels like a slightly skinnier D strat neck.


$100 OBO + shipping in the CONUS/lower 48. I accept Paypal, just add 3% or gift. I will ship via USPS Ground with full insurance and tracking. The neck will be removed prior to shipping so there's less chance of damage. I can get it into a smaller/tighter, well packed box.

Any questions just shoot me a PM.

Thanks!

They should use that headstock instead of that big, giant, ugly one.

Oh yeah, you're not a fan of em are ya? I dunno. I like em. These are pretty much what spawned the "Baby" line of today. These are constructed a lot better though.

I dig it! I love Explorer type guitars. I don't have any extra cash or the time and patience for a project though.

Yeah it's a fun little thing. I just have too many guitars with trems and I'm trying to fund a recording project.

I bet if you posted this on the dean guitars forum it would sell in an hour at that price.

Not my style, but these were well made guitars.
