Selling my oldest guitar since I've realized I prefer a 25.5" scale & 43mm nut and just got a deal on an MIA Troublemaker Tele to cover these vintage vibes.
It could probably use a quick clean up from the years of playing but functionally its in great condition (probably call it VG per Reverb standards, but check the photos for closeups of the worst dings). I've upgraded the pickups to Lollar Imperials for more of a PAF sound and the nut to bone for better tuning stability. The two volume knobs are push/pull to coil split the pickups, and the tone knob is push/pull for phase reversal. This thing plays and sounds better than a lot of Gibson Les Pauls due to the upgrades I've done, but also pre-2006 LTDs come from the peak of the WMI factory in Korea where they still used top tier hardware for tuners/bridge and had excellent wood selection and QA.
Preferably pickup in NJ/NYC as I've got no packing materials to ship a guitar at the moment and I'm very lazy.

* Body & Neck: Mahogany body and a 3-piece mahogany set-neck with a fast "Thin U" contour
* Fingerboard: Rosewood or ebony fretboard (depending on the specific finish/model variant) with 24 extra-jumbo frets and abalone or flag inlays
* Hardware: Sperzel or LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece
