Not local to me but close enough to deal face to face. Have a trade proposed for my 2016 R9 with its own mods (my listing). Thoughts?
Mine are if it was a factory 3pu with a Jimmy Page re-wire, it might not be too far off. But it's a home routing job, with a re-veneered headstock and replaced binding. Seller claims original frets in great shape, but clearly the nubs are gone, so I am inclined to doubt that. The headstock job looks nice from a distance but this pic gives me a different sensation.
Yeah, it's an old guitar and will have wear and issues. I love a guitar with issues- it puts it to where I can afford them. My real purpose here is to ensure equity in the deal. I am thinking I might be giving some away if it's an even trade.
Any suggestions from the collective knowledge here?
As always, thanks in advance!
