I LOVE it! It's a 2007 in mint condition. I paid the same as your buddy did for the TQ. He got a great deal imho!

told him to grab it, never see these and when i do they are 3k plus.

I thought the tonequests were only made in 2003-2004??

So what is a tonequest? Daves Guitars exclusive?

The TQR4s were a special run for Daves. I believe 8 out of the 32 were '03s with Braz. Here is a photo of the TQ I bought new in late '04 from Daves. The name TQ was based on an article in ToneQuest Magazine.
