I have two 44-02D's and this one simply does not get played. It is cherryburst and has the original Bartolini pickups and preamp, the back of the headstock is signed by Stu Hamm. The PO installed a pickguard and did use screws to secure it. When the PG is off, the screw holes are not too noticible. about 6 months ago, the neck developed a VERY slight twist which I had a local luthier fix. Lakland quoted me $175 for a "b" stock neck, my luthier charged me $100. The action is still nice and low, the sound is very sweet. Comes with a case. I am asking $800 plus shipping or will trade for a Lakland 44-60 preferably white or sunburst with a bound and blocked neck. Please let me know if you have any questions.
