This looks to be a nice players guitar. Just slight cosmetic wear but still is a charmer.

Lots of cherry sunbursts made June of 1983, good month, this one is just six serial numbers away from Lars' X935cs Endorser (which is one of the nicest ones I've ever seen buddy!). Pictures aren't super close up, but it looks in decent shape, corrosion on tuners, nicks in the headstock. But I tell you it's been played, A LOT. Check out the fretboard. These would have been stained Black when new (I think they call the process 'Ebonizing', faux ebony look), and on this one the fretboard looks thoroughly reddish brown all over, the rosewood showing itself. All three of my Endorsers have different amounts of 'stain' wear, from almost no wear on the fretboard to obvious playwear showing favorite chord and lead spots.

May not be a museum piece, but I bet she's a great player, that wood has been broken in nicely. Mike.

Thanks Mike for your kind words regarding my Pro Endorser. Art, the previous owner, sure did take care of it as it's in very good shape for it's age.

Now this guitar up for bid looks pretty good too as far as I can tell. I'd probably pull the trigger if the price was closer to $450. He's lowered it to $600 maybe it will go lower?

I'm waiting on a Blackburst Endorser like you got Mike. Still searching for that.

Lars
