Specs:

Neck: 1 pc maple

Fret board: Ebony 35 inch scale with Pearloid blocks and binding.

Body: 2 pc highly figured Ash in trans black oil finish with a natural top.

Pups : Nordstrand Big Splits

Preamp: Nordstrand 2B-4C

Controls: volume(passive/ active push pull), pickup blend, tone, bass, and treble

Bridge : Bacchus DB 4

Machine heads : Clover style custom Bacchus

Weight: 9 lbs


Condition:
It is finished in a see thru black stain over the beautifully figured Ash body with a natural top and a clear custom pickguard. The body and neck have a pearloid binding giving the instrument a boutique look to it and plays and sounds great!
The truss is fully operational and the DB bridge is among one of the best on the market.
The neck and fret board are in good shape and feel great to play on. Very smooth action with singing high notes and great sustain.

There are a few minor dings due to normal play wear. On first looks though it is stunning, and these little cosmetic flaws (see pics) barely detract from the overall majesty of the instrument.

Well over $300 in upgrades with the Nordstrand pickups and preamp.

Upgraded with the Nordstrand 2B-4C. This preamp is 2 band w VTC. Bass and treble cut/boost, pan, master volume, pull for passive. Sounds great with the Big Splits
