Nice, I have been wanting to get a look and a shot at one of these models and it's right here in Ga under my very nose. Not bidding yet as I am also working another deal but would like to give this one a run and see what it sounds like. Thanks for posting. Maybe I can get lucky and score one or the other. Will be watching this one.Has anyone seen or played one of these before?

I wish you luck. I would love to score it bug have a bigger fish on the other line if it comes through. If you score it and ever decide to part with it I ask for first dibs. Trying to keep the Egas in check.Good Luck

yep. action is a bit high. needs a shim or longer bridge screws...

the edge of this one was beat up pretty good in the past, as there are large areas where the poly is chipped off, then covered with paint, but overall it's pretty decent...

there was no trem bar, and it looks like about 2/3 of the threads are stripped out, but there's still enough there that I could put a M5 bolt in and it would hold. I'll try and tap it out a bit further just in case I find a bar...

Isn't this essentially the same guitar as one I just listed ??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0748722759 Looks darn near identical except for the pickups - thanks, Dave

Yep, Identical except the pickups. single vs. hum and the pickguard color...

your bridge/cover is much nicer though.... as is the finish....

Mine doesn't have Electra or Ibanez (or anything) on the headstock - I peeked under the metal "Yantis" plate !! It is real clean, tho...
