As new as the day I got it. Beautiful workmanship.
35" scale
Ash body
Maple 24 fret
TT burst - high gloss.
Matching headstock
Brass nut
Hipshot A bridge
19mm spacing
3 piece maple neck
LEJ 2 band preamp with passive tone control (Vol, Vol, passive/pull tone control, stacked bass & treble)
LEJ single coils
2 pick guards (tort and parchment)
Hard case
Had Brian B at thelowend.net install the SC's, preamp, tort pg along with a fresh setup a few months ago to inspire me to take it out of the case, but I just never got used to the 35" (to be fair, I never really gave it a fair shot). It's been a bedroom decoration since birth and should be played. I think I've read somewhere that Chris Benavente is no longer making the Vortex model, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I've only bought but never sold anything here on TB, but I have on eBay a while back with 100% feedback under the name 'ray_no_spam'. Cost $2,600 so I'm firm on the sale price (and reserve the right to chicken out). I am not looking for any trades.
Thanks for looking.
$1,800 + insured shipping in US only.
