2004 Signature STR-1 HB C (Lawsuit LP Custom) - Made in Japan Commissioned by Tanglewood and handcrafted in Japan by Fujigen-Gakki. Around 1000 were made before Gibson issued their cease and desist order and they sold for £900 without a case, but I will include one for the new owner. They're rare in general, but the Les Paul Customs are harder to find and this one is in very good condition; a Roland GK pickup was added at some point (two screws) and the guitar is missing it's pickguard and bracket. Specifications: Body: Two-Piece Selected African Mahogany Top: Two-Piece Selected Eastern Maple Finish: Ebony Polyurethane w/ 5-ply binding Neck: One-Piece Selected African Mahogany (Long Tenon '59 Profile) Nut: 43mm Bone Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood w/ 12 Inch Radius & Mother of Pearl Inlays Frets: 22 Dunlop 6100 Scale: 24.75 Inches Pickups: x2 Alnico II Gotoh HB PAF Classics w/ Shielding Hardware: Grover 'Kidney Bean' Tuners w/ Gotoh Bridge & Tailpiece Weight: 8.8lbs Pictures: https://i.imgur.com/RtlcAEU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fUG7hX7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zcdHbIr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tk61KYw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Jy0U2Hv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0hzdP4S.jpg £650 cash on collection from Carlisle, Cumbria, or bank transfer plus £25 P&P for UK Mainland only.

Or just avoid Fender / Squier's recent churn-outs and buy something with quality rosewood, like an alder Yamaha BB234. -

It's called 'Vintage Edition' so they went and used a mahogany substitute, which BC Rich, Vintage and Yamaha used on budget guitars in the 80s/90s, and then stained a nasty looking timber for a fingerboard. I've owned the '08 series and tried these in my local and the necks are less gloopy, but the old alder and rosewood sonic blue / fiesta red are the best of the bunch. I'd hold onto my money for a Sire or an old G&L Tribute. Everyone buys a Squier and gives it a stunning review, then you find out about them warts and all several years later when they've been sold on. *Pulls pants up* Now then, where to squat for my next... -

Thank you guys - I used to work with the Engineers that make the bridges too and they build for Sellafield and make submarines and all sorts. Certainly no scrimping anywhere and Koa is lovely... https://i.imgur.com/dGcmobJ.jpg BTW - The Jack Bruce is covered in plastic (bit of dust in the pic), the print itself is pristine.
