Er... ok ok... NOS at best.:laughing:
I got this brand new from a dealer in the US. But it's NOS. It's dated before 2003. Tell tale signs: PAF Pro pickups, and non-compensated nut.
But this thing plays... like my strats!!! Which is good! It feels better because the body is smaller, and more comfortable. The neck is like a slightly thicker version of a 62 C.:applaudit
All in all, it's not bad. The middle pup uses their "silent circuit" technology, which, I think, isn't as silent as I'd like it to be... Damn. even my kinmans are quieter... whahaha... Maybe this one is old, and the wiring might be a bit corroded. I dunno. The neck came with a lot of grime whihc needs to be cleaned off, but the fretwear is 0%. So that's odd. I wonder how this guitar had been played for so long, but there's very little or no fretwear, but the neck is so dirty.:doh
Luckily it's unfinished, meaning it can be restored easily.

The white has aged quite a bit, as you can see... But no dings, scratches or cracks.:applaudit
P.S. This one comes with a piezo. I wanted to convert this into an SSH model, but I can't find a pickguard for this which has SSH, and accomodates a piezo. It's a 24 fret. Not the 22 fret Silhouette special. That one is easy to get...
