Jfritts Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I unexpectedly lost my job recently and will be unloading some of my pricier guitars for below what I paid. I purchased this from Kev a few months ago and it has basically been stored since that time. Kev described its condition as mint, although I would more comfortably say excellent, given Kev's mild buckle rash on the backside. Certainly no dings or scratches - just light swirling. Most of you probably know this guitar and the extra features included, like the 5 ply binding, inlay on truss cover, etc. It comes with Kev's goodie bag of extra stuff - spare pots, additional pewter knobs, etc. He also forgot to include the Gravelin bridge pickup and told me he since shipped it to me by mail (current bridge pickup is Seymour Duncan SH4 JB. The Gravelin is long overdue but if/when it arrives I will happily forward it on. As it stands now, I can't guarantee it since it may be lost in space. I can also include lots of stuff Kev shared - Mike's build pics, etc. Kev was a great guy to buy from. This was an expensive purchase to ship from the United Kingdom, especially since Kev built his own wood sarcophagus to ship it in. Adding in customs duties, etc. I have well over $4,300 invested in it. I'm hopeful for a smooth transaction, preferably to someone familiar with this guitar's history. $3,900 Shipped CONUS. I can take more pics if necessary but I figured you guys were familiar with this one. [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfritts Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I didn't expect to be selling it. Next up will probably be the Willie Basse pink Scepter 12 bass and probably a Cruise or two....maybe an Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Unsurprisingly that didn't last. Does it remain in the family or has it gone further afield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
