If any of my guitars deserve the heart button, it's this one...

Best 5 string I ever played was a Blade; stunning instruments in their 'normal' production runs - god only knows how good this one is!!

Was £2,800 in 2007 from a shop called 'High End Guitars' that has now closed (I've only seen one other).

Price dropped.
