FYI:

I am selling ten of the best bolt-on guitars ever made. Why? Because I have 22 hooks and nearly forty guitars, and I hate keeping guitars in cases. Most of these are going because they are Gibson-scale, and I'm only keeping one of those (an Aria Pro II TA-60 --- one of many Matsumoku beauties I am both keeping and selling). The others I would never sell except for lack of hooks. Every one is personally set up for optimized action, and most are going to challenge anything you have for top dog. If you like how one looks, I guarantee you will get incredible value for your money.

THE BEEF ON THIS ONE:

Believe it or not, among all the incredible guitars that I am selling, all of which I consider candidates for the best, this is the one that hurts most.

It is one of my precious RS Straycats, of which I am keeping four originals (including another CAR one like this), and into which I put Tonerider Alnico IV PAFs with a three-way switch that offers SS, SH, and HH options (which means SEVEN (7) different pickups options!!). The original push-pull broke, and the original pickups (included), though my favorites of ALL TIME, are a bit weak on the bottom, hence the switch to what I consider the latest greatest brand of pickups (I have Toneriders in four of my final guitars).

The reason I'm selling it is that I don't particularly like Candy Apple Red. It's a bit bright for my tastes, even though Arias have much deeper and more sumptuous ones than Fender. But I knew I had to keep one, even if it was in a case, and I opted for the original one because it has a perfect pair of the original pickups which have my favorite tone of all time (as I said above). Plus it has the extra mojo of being untouched, like almost all the rest of my RS'. The thing is, THIS ONE HAS A BETTER NECK, DAMMIT!!! I may change my mind yet . . .

FORGETABOUTIT. This neck is so sweet you will cry, and the tonal versatility will kill you. GRAB IT, if you want the best value of all time. I kid you not. Gigbag included.

Paypal only, please. Shipping will be $45 to the lower 48, TBD elsewhere. I will ship to USA, Canada, EU, Japan and Australia. No zero or evil feedback, please. Guitar is sold 'as is', so please ask questions before bidding.

THANK YOU, BIDDERS!!! Happy ebaying, all!!!!

Please forgive the messed up (wide) formatting. I used Turbo Lister for the first time, and it turned out this way, and I can't figure out how to change it. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!!
