Whoever buys that is going to get a killer deal. That is a great price on that thing, IMHO.

I'm keeping it!

I was originally concerned because it's got wilkenson locking tuners and bridge and the tuners are awful. They have something like a 12:1 gear ratio (as compared to 21:1 on the hipshot) and are extremely stiff. Additionally, it's slightly neck heavy. I was planning on getting a Century made the same specs (mahogany/maple body, maple/maple neck).

However, after I sold it and while I was waiting for the check to arrive, I ended up just falling in love with the tone and playability and the buyer graciously is allowing me to return his check along with a small fee for his trouble.

Anyone know which hipshot tuners will drop in as replacements for the wilkenson? I'm assuming the 3/8" shaft? Does anyone sell a set of 3/3 hipshot tuners ?
