Couple of questions that might save you from receiving a ton of PMs. Weight? Which Maxon pickups does it have? Neck girth - slim, fat, etc.? Nitro finish?
Thank you.
 
Weight: Kg. 3,6 :D
Pickups: U2000 dated 16th July 1980 :eek:
Neck profile: '60s slimmish........ :roll:
Nitro finish: I don't think so,
BUT a very thin poly, one can feel the wood grain underneath......... :wink:

Freets are original with binding and in almost perfect conditions.
The guitar is black, and NOT in mint conditions, so you do see swirls, pick scratches and the odd dings here and there, but nothing through the finish, except in one little spot on the inside of the upper "fin".

Anyway, a big chunk of lightweight magoghany, and it does sound BIG :D

Maybe someone who is fluent in Japanese can help:

I'm not a big fan of pointy guitars but I really like that one.

Same. Next to the Les Paul shape, Explorers are my next most comfortable to play. They are nicely balanced, at least the ones I've played.
 
I have this exact guitar, except mine is a '78. I also have a sunburst model that is an '82. Both are exceptional guitars that I will never get rid of. You just never see this particular model come up for sale that often. Whoever snags this will not be sorry.
 
It's a 76 but with non original brakes and a racing engine.I have to change those push rod tubes...you know the thing where every beetle is leaking oil :evil: One side ready now but to do this job on a non original engine build by someone else is a nightmare...
 
What was I thinking............... :roll:

Not for sale anymore, I'm keeping this one, and playing it.... :D :D :D
 
The price is clearly stated right at the beginning of the thread, maybe you didn't notice it........ :p
