Frank Brothers Signature NAMM 2018 Showcase Model. Probably played around 10 times and only in my home studio. It is an absolutely stunning guitar, but I just never bonded with it. I primarily play a Strat, and every time I picked this up, it just wasn't me. This guitar is the kind you keep in your collection, which is why I've been so stubborn in holding on to it. But it's time to let it go and let it make some music in somebody else's hands. It has sat in a case for far too long. The link to the YouTube video shows Cory Wong playing this guitar at NAMM in 2018. Yes, it is actually THIS guitar that he is playing. I don't have any documentation regarding that fact, except that it was stated so in the listing when I bought it directly from Frank Brothers in 2018, and they stated the same when I spoke with them on the phone. I downgraded it to 'Excellent' only for a thin scratch on the neck pickup cover that is difficult to see if the light isn't right (I don't even remember how that happened), and a minor scuff on the top of the case. Otherwise, it looks brand new. Comes with case, case candy, and original box and packaging.
Here are the vital stats. Contact me if you have any questions. I am frequently out of town for 3 or 4 days at a time. If you purchase this while I am away from home, I apologize in advance for the slight delay in shipping.
