I need to move some gear. I bought this about 15 months ago. As soon as I got it, I installed a killer set of Sheptone Blue Sky pickups. I paid $1100 for this guitar with tax and shipping. Below is the post from the original seller. As you can see this has been seriously upgraded!

$700 plus shipping and fees. If you know me, you know I'm an honest seller. Many here can vouch for me. You can save taxes and fees by using PayPal Friends and Family.

What you are looking at is a very early Bonamassa signature edition. This one predates the COA books that come with them now and instead has the sheet style signed by Epiphones president and Joe himself. This is a legit piece. This particular guitar has been modded and gigged for a bit. First mod, pots and caps were changed out for a set of paper and oil caps and overvalued pots from RS guitar works. The next mod, the bridge that was replaced with Faber E-sert studs which convert it to ABR 1 studs. The bridge was changed to a Tone Pros locking ABR 1 the tailpiece is a lightweight aluminum one off of one of my Gibson Custom Shop guitars. The tailpiece studs are also Tone Pros locking ones. I also changed the pickguard to a les Paul custom one, but the original is included in the case. Last but not least this guitar is Plekked by none other than the fine staff at Glaser instruments in Nashville.

It was bought brand new for me by bandmates in 2988. Ive owned it for 28 years. Chris is the second owner.

Here's the last live performance I played with it - September 9, 2019 in Crestline, California.

Nice.
Man that purdy PRS didnt last long

gotta say though the Schecter is da business

The PRS was the best guitar I ever laid hands on, but I just don't enjoy playing. I am unable to progress and don't have the discipline to plug away for hours and days on end with no improvement.

I actually wish I would have quit years ago and invested all my money in tools for knife making. I quit knife making around 2013 to focus on guitar. If I would have stuck
with the knife making I could be a master by now. Every knife I make is nicer than the one before it and I love making them so much...people are already lining up to buy them.

Robert, would you like to have it back? No charge to you brother. Maybe you can use it at your music school?

Only catch is you have to come and get it!

Man, that's super generous of you!!@!!

These 12 hour shifts are making free time super scarce!!!!!
 
I thought Bobby was in Lake Arrowhead? ..... :unsure:

Chris--- ive not "progressed" in years. For me that isnt the point. I enjoy guitars, collecting trading swapping learning (like the baseball cards of our youth) and the playing is a relaxing ..... non stressful "break" from the world. Just grab that Schecter and make a JOYFULL noise "F" the world if it isnt PROEPR -- if the "progressions" arent right or you didnt mix your lydians with your thirds and gets turds....... who cares?!?!
I defy the music police to come give me a citation (hell I defy the local police to get in my HOUSE!) ....

making music Is not a destination, making music is a ride .... if some other person LIKES your ride.... fine if they dont PUSH EM OFF! ;)
