This MB model was one of the very first ones of this species built by luthier Mario Beauregard in 2010, who studied with Sakashta. You probably know how special all this is about, this design took much more times to build than traditional archtop. Masterpiece handcrafted by Mario.
Original incredible fret job. (The round edge of each fret is beautiful carved.)
A blemish over finish of the back on the lower horn and binding on the high E side, otherwise only normal wears after years of well cared playing. (Tried to have it shown on the listed photos)
Oxidised 3 way switch replaced.
Analysis Plus QiJack-mono-TS output jack was upgraded alongside with the Lollar Imperial Humbucker Set, which is for sure a big upgrade by replacing the plastic cover pickups this guitar came with.
