dhuber Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 I'm getting some questions so I'll post what I know about this guitar:I bought this guitar of eBay 2 years ago for $1100. When I plugged it in I noticed the tone control had a Wah effect. I asked around on the TDPRI forum and was told the pickups were out of phase. I took the neck pickup out and could tell someone had previously removed the cover. I took the pickup cover off and flipped the magnet back around. Now the pickups are in phase with no Wah effect. Nothing else in the guitar has been soldered on except the pickup cover. The Seth Lover Sticker fell off the back of the pickup in the process too but the pickups are original.There are some real small minute tiny scratches right below the neck pickup. If I did not tell you they were there you would not notice them. Either the previous owner or myself must of did that when we lifted the pickup out.There are light scratches on the pickup covers.I don't see any fret wear. The first 3 frets are shiny under the B string but there are no gouges. If it is fret wear it very insignificant and minute.The guitar probably is more brownish and less gold in color then the pictures show. This guitar is in excellent condition.I'm not sure about the neck profile. I previously owned a 2001 Artist and I thought that it had a slightly thicker neck. This fells pretty close to my C profile Strat Plus neck which is just slight thicker than an regular C Profile. I own yet another Artist and a Studio and they have the same neck profile.I posted this guitar on this forum for the same price last year. Some interested people but no buyers.The buyer can pick it up at my residence or pay for shipping.Thanks
ItTakesAVillage Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Darren - I'll take it. PM and email sent. Thanks.
Ting Ho Dung Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Curious, does it have a belly cut or is that the reflection from the case? I know some 90's studios had belly cuts but not sure of the artist.
hamer_sunburst Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Darren is a great and very honest seller! Darren, I still have your other Artist (the red one from 2001). Great guitar!
