This isn’t bone stock for sure, but it’s one of the most unique and nicest ones you’ll find. It’s in near perfect condition. Only flaw I can find is the tiny screw hole in the back of the headstock, where the previous owner probably mounted an allen wrench holder.
Pickups are Jalen Pinnacles (EVH Frankenstein clones), wired for coil splitting with a push/pull Bournes volume pot. I added a big brass block and brass fine tuners to the Gotoh bridge. EVH D Tuna also installed and included. Original fine tuners included. Trem cavity cover is also included, I never use them. Comes with orignal Music Man case. It weighs a comfortable 7.8 lbs. Neck figuring is better than I can capture in photos, better than average. I’ve had a lot of these and this is one of the more figured necks. I have four others at the moment and this one just gets played the least, so there is next to no fretwear.
Now, the story behind the paint job. This is the same paint code as the Peavey Wolfgang seafoam version. This guitar originally had an amber finish. When I took it to my tech for the electronics work, due to a miscommunication (probably due to both our horrible handwriting) and he thought I wanted a tone pot added and drilled for one. There was no way to patch that hole and make the top still look right. So why not dump more money into it? I sent it to Pat Wilkins, who is THE BEST there is. He even got the right silkscreen for redoing the headstock. This is the most pro refinish job you can get.
