thegreenman555 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Ok, definitely for sale - [b]and SOLD[/b] - its *really really* gotta got fast.. It's an 'as new' 55-01 Skyline fretless, with lined Fretboard in a high gloss natural finish over the swamp ash body. The 35" Fretboard (22 fret) is ebony, I think - too dark for Rosewood, & the clarity of the Low B's on these Laklands is renowned. Yet, the fretboard is set deep into the body, so it doesnt feel like it's 'out there', if you know what I mean 5 x Hipshot 'lic' lite tuners 2x Bartolini Mk1 Soapbars The famous Läkland 2 way bridge - currently strung thro the body & the best bit- in the copper lined electric socket sits the much prized Läkland Hanson LH3 4-way adjustable pre-amp, giving you a huge tonal range. & a Läkland padded gig bag. For the full spec see here: [url="http://www.lakland.com/55-01.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/55-01.htm[/url] Body wise, it looks EXACTLY like the one on the top of the page, but with the lined fretless neck For sale, I think now reduced to SOLD - it's a total n absolute steal, especially with the fitted pre-amp, which has to be worth a coupla hundred ££. Any questions - feel free to PM me It is absolutely immaculate. Not a mark on it - as you can see from the pics. Edited March 26, 2011 by thegreenman555

I thought all non-US Lakie 5's used the same neck ... and my 55-02 is definitely a 35". Andy
