$1400 net to me firm! This is what I have to pocket after all shipping and any fees. TLDR: condition is conservatively D-

This guitar has a vibe all on its own. This guitar was purchased new from guitar center by its previous owner in 1997. It suffered a neck break early on in its life and has been repaired and never looked back since. It's been a faithful rock machine for its previous owner who wasn't shy to take this everywhere.

There are dings and scratches throughout the guitar. Checking on the mesmerizing sparkling top throughout as well. There is lacquer lifting on the logo, a fair amount of wear on all the frets, and the bridge pickup is a newer 57+ vs the neck which is the original 57 PAF. The bridge was mismatched as nickel so there's some hardware mismatch as well. Also the pickups look like they were misdrilled so the pickup rings are both slightly warped. Please take a look at all photos, video, and ask me any questions. It's a rock n roll machine that looks killer too.

Clear pickguard is currently removed but it also has a crack and is kept in the case. The case has the owners initials and the combo lock removed as well, but that is included.

Previous owner must have thought once it's had a headstock break, let 'er rip, which is a great attitude.

I need that guitar like I need a hole in my head, but it’s pretty damned cool for all the right reasons.

Unique finish, and the price ain’t bad.
Play that sumbitch!!!!
