edited October 2017 in Guitars £
I recently trade my Collings i35 LC for this guitar but having gigged it twice I cannot get on with the offset shape.
It is a superbly built guitar and sounds awesome with the Lindy Fralin P90's and I am gutted I can't get on with it.
It has a nice low action on the dark rosewood board with a 9.5 radius.
The marble effect paint job is very subtly done.
£2600 
Collection from Bedfordshire
I'm sure @polobear74 won't mind me referring you to his for sale thread 

So...brief history of this particular guitar...

I've ordered it directly from Andy in 2010.

The guitar needed to have some very specific appointments, and for that reason I had to custom order it.

1).. neck....22 frets. I believe this is the only Tonemaster with such a feature...because of the truss-rod adjustment, this is not an easy thing to do, but Andy took up the challenge and came up with a beautiful solution....--pictures speak for themselves--

2)body made of  one piece alder...extremely rare, that piece of wood came from Andy's personal stock...

3) "marble" finish...this type of finish is extremely difficult to do...in every guitar comes out differently....Andy does NOT offer the finish anymore, way to complicated and expensive. --$500 extra--

4) "sparkle" acrylic pick-guard

    I am gutted...never had an offset before and this just stood out from all the others and is a fantastic sounding guitar...but after a gig my shoulder was hurting and I just found it uncomfortable and that's not because it's heavy...my loss will be someone elses gain..cheers
