It is play wear. Some of the discoloration was there when I got the husk; some of it is from me. After I built it, it was practically the only guitar I played for a couple years, until I did all my mods to my Jackson.

Is there any finish cracks, etc on the back of the neck? or is that the only thing, play wear.? I can't see it really clearly from the pictures.

There are a few scratches, but no actual finish cracks, as I can tell.

The most pronounced scratch is circled below. I honestly can't say if it was there when I got the guitar, or not. It very well may have been caused by my wedding band.

The only other actual break in the finish is the one in your post (#52). As we've discussed privately, that was there when I got the husk. It is a paint chip and looks like the previous owner tried to fill the chip with touch-up paint. I did know about that when I got the husk, as it was shown in the original eBay listing.

It sort of gives me an example / test guitar which is "average."

I would like a LP custom, but the price is still a little high.
As for the lack of weight, I will be evaluating the consequences of that. If it's noticeably microphonic than I probably won't play it too long.
I have been an SG guy up to now. I have no problems with SG.
But we'll see. I'm giving the new stuff a chance and trying not to be too judgmental till I actually play it.

I haven't heard a lot of complaints about it so far.

AMS, Try to find a nice LP Classic Custom. They may be less costly. I heard they were exceptional pieces. I almost had designs on one of the Natural finish ones.

No no no no... Smitty's LP needs to be bought by AMS, and kept within the TTR family... :flash:

That’s a very kind sentiment!

But, I don’t want AMS, nor anyone else, to feel either rushed or obligated to buy it.

As long as AMS shows serious interest I won’t sell it out from underneath of him. Also, he is totally free to decide not to buy, after all.

I can't afford a custom. It's in the 4-6 K range. I don't have 6 grand to spend.
Although it does have a very nice feel to it.
I don't need an axe like that for testing amps, somebody's going to steal it.

Well, this guitar certainly could handle amp-testing duties!

Plus, it is a very capable gigging instrument, should the need ever arise.
