Owned by the artist : 2021 Sean Long prototype & touring Charvel Nr #3 "DDAWG"

On sale this very exciting guitar that belonged to mr Sean Long from While She Sleeps and that was handed to charity after their show in Poland in 2023 . This one catches attention of the nerdy eyes for few reasons :

1) This guitar was manufactured in 2021 , according to the serial number from the backplate from the neckjoint , despite the retail model was launched in 2022 . Also on the headstock there is the sticker "SL0003" , so it is the one of the 3 very first made (probably the SL0001 one still belongs to Fender/Charvel). The serial number from this neck joint plate you can also see in the Charvel's promo video of this guitar in 4:52 , and in 6:13 when Sean talks about the guitar he holds in the video. Here is the link for this promo video :

2) On the headstock there is no stamp that the retail model has that says : „This guitar headstock is the registered trademark of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation..." . So it looks like a prototype model .

3) Of course everything above I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for the look . Mr Long is known for using markers of various colours to make every his device more personal and special. On the headstock the sticker has written "Ddawg" (a slang variation for the word "the dude") . And of course - this huge sentence "Not Long Left Now" . So the look counts - as it catches folk's attention - but a lot of people will be still excited about points 1) and 2) as they make it more special compared to what you can find in shops .

The belt that is connected is not easy to separate and it looks like is doubled - you can see on the screen from the Tuska festival that he has this belt on both shoulders .

From the technical standpoint - everything works . When I got it it was tuned D# so I tried to tune to E standard , but from what I see in the interview Sean uses usually Drop D , Drop C and "D-X" . The input jack could be improved as my cable doesn't fits well and the guitar loses signals on some angles .

Visually - although it is not an old guitar (and they couldn't tour during 2,5 years of pandemic) it has its hits , harms and scratches , like it was using heavily .

The guitar is rather something for nerds and collectors of authentic artist guitars and gear . Of course the instruments owned by artists appear on Reverb , but very rarely - signature models , actually owned by an artist , that actually toured , that are very first made by the contracted company and took part in promo videos .

It will be sent in hardcase so nothing will happen in transport .

I'm experienced in sending guitars worldwide . No additional custom tax after crossing a boarder , except for what Reverb takes during payment (like US state tax) .
