Vintage Japanese Crafted Heerby SA-900 1979 -ES-335

I really hate having to sell this rare, Kasuga made, Heerby SA-900 in minty condition other than a few scratchy pots and a disintegrated pickguard, but need to raise funds to pay expenses. The guitar is in immaculate condition like as if it was kept in its case. I purchased this a few years ago from Japan and haven't really used it.

It has some pitting on the bridge and stoptail as well as on the pickup covers which was due to the disintegrated pickguard which I removed and placed in nylon bag in order to protect the guitar. I tried to install a Gibson ES-335 pickguard but it does not fit, therefore I'm including the original if someone wants to replicate it. The pickguard mount is also included.

The pickups sound awesome with lots of power. The curves are out of this world. These were either 5-ply or 6-ply in contrast to Gibson's 3-ply ES-335s. In general it's an incredible guitar. Frets are in great condition. Overall the guitar seems to have been hardly playeed. The trussrod is working perfectly too. I didn't have to make any adjustments but I turned it clockwise and then counterclockwise to test it was working.
