Offering this "vintage" MTD up for sale, to fund another MTD 535 purchase I just made.
This is a 535w, #37 of Mike's new MTD series. This build was finished in Feb 1995, after his contract with Gibson was completed.
This beauty has been lovingly played over the years -- the pictures tell the story. Most noticeable wear is a groove just above the neck pickup in the "thumbrest" position, plus some wear in the "slap zone."
Details:
-35" scale
-Swamp ash body (unbelievably resonant)
-Wenge neck and board (I love the feel of these older open grain wenge necks)
-Bartolini Electronics
-String spacing at the bridge is 19mm and nut width is 2"
-Weighs approx 8.5lbs per my bathroom scale
-Minor fret wear - not noticeable
-Includes the HSC and original letter from Mike Tobias
Album link: http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/hipjazzcat/library/MTD 535
Price: $2400 (sorry - no trades on this, as I need the cash)
Buyer pays actual shipping costs (I already have a box and materials for shipping, so the cost will just be the transit costs plus insurance) - continental US only, please.
