I need money to finish buying parts for my LP replica. That, plus I just have too many guitars hanging around. I made this guitar completely from scratch, from the body, to the neck, to the pickguard. The body is paulownia which is insanely lightweight, but really great sounding wood. Guitar Mill uses paulownia for their featherweight guitars. This guitar is handmade, yet is not perfect. The finish is solid, in a nice surf green. There are a few dings, since I have been playing this guitar and gigging it a bit (don't gig that much though). The neck is solid, and level, as are the frets. I build a one piece traditional style truss rod neck, with walnut dowel and filler strip. The neck wood is curly maple. The neck profile is a nice deep V. Really comfortable to play. There is a chip in the finish where I tightened the neck plate too hard. Paulownia dents easily and I should have known better. The tuners are kluson single line, the bridge is a wilkinson, and the jackplate is electrosocket. Again, this is a handbuilt guitar, and at $245, I have priced it accordingly. The most important thing is that the neck is stable and straight, and it sounds great. There is a switch, on the guitar, but it is not wired up.
Of course, everyone says that guitars sound great when they are selling them, so I made a soundclip/video to prove it. My recording skill aren't great, and the two mics are slightly out of phase, but it gets the point across.
Shipping cost will be the actual cost sent fed ex ground, and for $25 I will throw in a standard black fender-style hard case, for $45 I will include a nice plush hard case. (I only have one of each, so if one case goes with my other guitar in the classifieds, then I only have the other left). I would prefer to ship in a case.
My email should be available through my name. If not, just PM me.
P.S. The clips and images show the guitar with straploks, these will be changed to regular strap buttons.
