Great well-maintained player's guitar. Set up and gig-ready. Aftermarket hardshell case included. A few little chips, but with these hot rod electronics, who cares!? Plays like a dream. Sounds amazing with that tall poles on the G and D strings... really enhances the mid-range and makes it easier on the ears. I don’t know much technical detail about the custom shop pick-ups, I just know they sound more “Strat-like” than the standard electronics of the same year. Also on top of that, there is a really nice new neck and a new bridge. I have maintained the other neck if you would like me to change it let me know;).
