SOLD - 2014 Charvel Skatecaster in Trans Red W/Ironstone Humbuckers

PhilM

I bought this back in 2014. It never actually left the house, but I found time to install a pair of Ironstone humbuckers (http://ironstone-guitar-pickups.co.uk/product/humbucker-guitar-pickups-alnico-v/ ) that I had lying around. At the same time I replaced the standard cheapie selector switch with a Switchcraft one, and added a Bournes push/pull volume pot to control the coil splits. It has spent most of its life in a hardcase under the bed and is the second least-played guitar in the collection. I feel its probably time to let it go. Amazing neck on this, both in feel and playability. Has collected a few light scratches from use around the house. Small blemish under the paint near the neck pickup that is impossible to photograph. Hardware has a nice aged smoked chrome finish to it.

Case not included, but I do have the original box in the loft. I'd rather not post but can do so if absolutely necessary.

I'm looking for £200 - postage extra
