The guy has told me they were black originally.. this is true as the factory label shows it as black.. all the hardware has been changed to gold at a cost or £140.00 he has said.. the photo's are poor quality as taken with a mobile. I could just about make out a 'W' faintly (not bold like they normally are on the black tuners) in the photo, dont want to buy a dud.. thats my concern.. £500 is the asking price, comes with tool kit and gigbag.. I have seen the photo's from the guy he bought it off..
