I bought this brand new from Sweetwater. I knew from reviews and seeing them that it's a stunningly beautiful guitar, and also that the stock pickups really suck, so I simultaneously ordered the replacement pickup to put in right away. Unfortunately, it was bought on a boredom whim and to make me feel good (real shitty work situation) and I really didn't need it. Immediately after it arrived the shit hit the fan at work and I ended up ending my lease and moving out of state and of course getting another job so the last thing I needed was an extra guitar sitting around since I'm not very good and don't even play much. I rarely make such bad decisions as to buy something on impulse but I'm only human and a bad situation got the best of me. Now I have this beauty and no use for it since I'm going back to OTR trucking and will barely even play my other guitar, so I know I'm going to lose money on it but my loss can be your gain (within reason!). Between the necessary markdown, ebay fees, and shipping I'm taking quite a hit but now with changing jobs AGAIN all of my stuff is going into a storage unit indefinitely so I'd rather see this go to good home and recover what I can than have it sit in storage. This guitar was played a grand total of less than an hour!! Never exposed to smoke or pets. Original pickup included of course (it's in the Seymour box). The ONLY difference between you buying this brand new from a dealer or from me is the PRICE. Also, if you are uncertain about the pickup, ask around and/or browse online because it's no secret that the ceramic OEM pickup PRS should be ashamed to sell in a guitar of this price sounds horrible and almost everyone change them out to a ALNICO Humbucker as I have done. The strings put on when the pickup was swapped are Dean Markley Blue Steel lights. Check my feedback... long time ebay member since 2004 with 100% perfect record and lots of sales!!
If not sold by the time my stuff goes into storage I will probably end listing and give it to my nephew.
