Something Cool
[PENDING]
The following guitar and I also have decided to see other people.
This guitar sounds and looks great but it has a 1-5/8" nut and Music
Man is just unwilling to make it with a wider nut. I just don't have
1-5/8" nut hands, got it Ernie Ball? (disclaimer: 1-5/8" is the
original Fender nut width, it works for most people)
Trade for some cool Stratocaster would be ideal. I'd give some cash
to uptrade for an American '62 or something like that.
(disclaimer: I do more than amateur photography. The following
pictures have been adjusted for true color representation and have
been shot in good light. No editing to hide dings or other details
has been done. The guitar will look like this is you open my package
in good light, but it will not look like this in a gloomy cellar.
Unedited photos available or I can bring out the Powershot if you like)

I have a new pickguard for this, in creme. Not only do I think it
will make the guitar look better, I also didn't have the hole for the
silly switch right below the strings drilled. The intend was to use a
proper 5-ways switch or superswitch. The guard cost me $69 plus
shipping or whereabouts.
Pickguard is new with protective plastic. Fully spots are the
plastic, not scratches.

Comes with original case but I give you a rebat if you don't want the
case:

Pricing is difficult. The used priced for this thing vary. As I
said, a trade for a Strat (or cash-uptrade to a American 62 RI) might
be the way to go.
I'll price it as $900 shipped/paypaled for now, without the pickguard.
I would be interested to keep one of the pickups and the case if you
want a lower price.
