FINAL DAY! BLOWOUT PRICE! Tomorrow, this comes off the market. This is the new 2018 model. It's quality, sound, and feel are beyond reproach. It's condition is flawless. It's balance is perfect. The rosewood over roasted maple neck with satin finish is the nicest neck I've ever laid hands on. This was wearing flatwounds when I got it. I can leave them on or replace with roundwounds if desired. This does not have the original hard case or any case candy, but I will ship it in a new soft gig bag. This is probably the lowest priced example of this new 2018 model that you are likely to run across. Weight: 9 1/2 pounds.

Thats a bummer about the weight. I think you got one of the heavier Specials as the weight is a point of emphasis for these.
I think you are correct. I know there are many folks here who don’t mind a little weight or maybe even prefer it. The upside is that the balance is incredible.
