Model: Lead I

Finish: Transparent Red

Set-up & Playability: Plays great! Neck is incredibly comfortable

Weight: 8lbs, 5oz (Fender was using a dense Northern Ash in this era)

Case: Original Hardshell

Notes: Case candy and original parts and Pickgaurd. Art done by John Moisan, designer of the South Dakota State Flag!!

This guy has had one owner, who currently is moving into a houseboat, so he is selling all (a lot of) of his stuff. Someone did a little restore work on it sometime in the last decade or so, but the work is very clean. Like, impressively clean. The pickguard is a WD guard, but the original is included. It looks fine / unwarped, just faded some. Not sure why it wasa changed, original looks fine to me. Switches have been swapped out for nice modern repros, originals included. 

The original owner's father was friends with John Moisan, thus the art. The art has been on there since the 1980s - the original owner showed me a picture of him playing it as a teenager. The coolest part may be the owner's manual. Cool guitar with an even cooler story! 

As always, we cleaned it up, polished the finish, flushed the electronics (if applicable), changed the strings, performed all routine maintenance and set the action low and smooth. All of our packages are packed tight enough to survive the apocalypse and we insure every parcel for the full purchase amount.

Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
