___---___ Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) My beautiful 1990 Ken Smith BT4. It’s in excellent condition throughout, with some very minor crackling in the finish (so minor it’s hard to make out in the pictures). The previous owner (it was purchased on here) has fitted a new volume pot (purchased from Ken Smith), and a local luthier has checked out the input jack as it was a little intermittent - all now fixed, and I can provide paperwork of what was done. It comes with the original Ken Smith ‘teardrop’ case in 4/10 condition, and a really good TGI gig bag. The original Ken Smith leather strap is in there too. I’m really not looking for trades, but would be interested in some good quality guitars. Surprise me 😊 I’m in east London, and I think this one has to be collected, due to the two case thing. I’m ampless, so it’d be an acoustic try-out, unfortunately. You’re welcome to bring an amp, of course.

Jerrylejer Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks Adam. I'm not familiar with this type of bridge but I'm not the official biographer of KS basses :-) BE CAREFUL YOU'RE OUT OF BATTERY !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
