I have the flametop bug again...and I don't think I'm a P90 guy at heart.

Has Wolfetone P90 pickups and OHSC, but no cert...weighs right about 9 lbs. Also has what look to be some NOS caps.

From what I understand from the previous owner, a luthier shaped & resprayed the neck to vintage '59 specs...very nice work, and it's one of the reasons I dig this guitar (keep baseball bats on the field where they belong!). If you looked at it closely you can see some micro buffing marks...but it's high quality work, the profile is wunderbar. The headstock stencil looks like it was partly buffed out. I do not have documentation for the work that was done.

Otherwise it's in excellent shape overall...a couple tiny finish scratches on top north of the bridge & tailpiece, and perhaps some general player wear here and there. On the case, the little cloth strap that hold the case lid came un-stapled...I suppose that could be easily repaired.

The neck profile feels great, and it resonates acoustically better than an LP I've had...lots of bark and bite. KILLER GUITAR at a KILLER PRICE.

SOLD! Thanks guys!

As far as trades, I'd be most interested in a...

- flamed R0 in iced tea, but would consider...

- R8 or R9

- LP Custom

- Historic SG

- /13 RSA 23

- Suhr Badger

- Strat or tele with 9.5 + radius

Thanks.

VERY nice. I love my R4. Too bad I don't have anything on your list OR the $$ at the moment-I was looking for a new LP!
