Bridge pickup looks strange but it's sonically ferocious--if a bit microphonic. Newer set of Rotos makes this sound like what you'd expect: very aggressive if you want it to be, with some nice low end counterbalance coming from the neck pickup. You WILL be heard! Body weight is between 9-10 pounds. A wee bit neck heavy, barely noticeable, and feels / plays well. One tone potentiometer was *glued* in place by a former owner, and probably could be unstuck by someone with great technical expertise / patience than I. Bridge pickup cover is included, though not pictured.
NEW PRICE: $425 shipped in the CONUS, Paypal ONLY. Trade-wise, the ONLY thing I'm interested in would be partial trade for TC Electronics RH450 + cash on my end.
