Price watch (27)


Do avoid this one.


I'm doubting its authenticity based on these contentious points:
  • A: Pickguard is misaligned; it goes too near to the edge of the cutaway
  • B: This part of the pickguard is located at the 21st fret - it should be 20th
  • C: The truss rod cover is misaligned to the left & the tip is levelled with the low E machine head, it should sit a little higher. Em... is it just me or does that string retainer look crooked?
Disclaimer: Pickguard & truss rod cover might be OEM replacements which are ill-fitting.

I've contacted the seller who has no guitar knowledge, said it belonged to a cousin who had moved out of the house.


Good deal for this episode goes to this SKB hard case - awesome condition & a sub-$100 price tag.
