CHeers guys and thanks to the lovely benecol for giving me the heads up to the sale a-happening elsewhere. I'll be transferring the cash later today and then the guy will send over night courier. Thursday or Friday seems likely. I'll need to shift a ton of gear and ephemera I've had clogging up Dave-towers forever to recoup the cash .

The great thing is though is that this guitar has great specs - there is ZERO project work or swaps to get tangled up in. The last thing I need is yet another guitar that needs serious work to get it playble especially as my Yamaha is going to need a repair and I'll be getting it refreeted and the binding fixed so it will be out of action for a while. ANyway mofos check out these muthfarkin specs and try and find one thing that is substandard (even a bomne nut!):

BODY (Top) Hard Maple (Back) Mahongany w/ White & Black Laminating Binding
NECK Mahogany
FINGERBORAD Ebony, 22frets w/ White Binding
RADIUS 305R
SCALE 628mm
NUT Bone (43mm)
INLAY Pearloid Block
JOINT Set-neck
TUNER GOTOH SG301-04
BRIDGE Old Type Tune-Matic & GOTOH GE101Z
PICKUPS (Neck) Seymour Duncan SP90-1n
(Bridge) Seymour Duncan SP90-1b
PARTS COLOR Gold
CONTROLS Neck Volume&Tone, Bridge Volume&Tone, Toggle PU Selector

I see a nice set of Optimax gold strings in this guitars future...

Further: I cannot put down the Jim Deacon. the fat neck and fat frets are so IMMENSELY playable to me. I suspect the Edwards won't be as fat (apparently a transitional 59/60 type profile) so it may be that I end up taking the deacon off my mates hands, just BECAUSE. In the future i definitely want a very well made Lemon-drop LP with that neck profile.

Most certainly! You can't touch it or look at it though...it's still got the old tagger on it. [/tapquote]
