Upgraded with US Bartolini pickups and Agular OBP3 preamp. Electronically and tonewood wise - it is GVB1006, just without the price tag. The change in tone after the upgrade is very noticeable: with the original GVB36 electronics tone was very uneven between strings - the C just popped out no matter what, fair amount of compression/distortion. Pickup/preamp upgrade fixed all these issues. Minor play wear, a couple of small scratches on body, uneven lacquer finish at the body edge near the jack, all pictured. Listed price + actual shipping costs.
9lb 14oz It's pretty well balanced (narrow neck, compact headstock, upper horn extending to 12th fret), I feel no neck diving when used with my 4" wide leather strap. That said, strictly speaking it is not 100% balanced - put on a narrow textile strap, and the neck will slide down instantly. On a 10 scale, with MM Stingray Special being 0 and MM Caprice being 10, it's in the 3 to 4 range.
