This very nice SH225 is in great shape and plays excellent. Only minor worming on the back and a mark on the neck. The pick-guard is missing and the mounting holes are shown. The neck is clean, straight, and fast, with little wear on the frets. NOTE: This guitar has been customized by a local shop to remove the extra switches from the circuit, so it is wired now like a typical Les Paul. ALL ELECTRONICS ARE BRAND NEW, INCLUDING A PAIR OF VINTAGE STYLE BARE KNUCKLE 'NAILBOMB' PICKUPS. This guitar will scream, but can also be bluesy and soulful. The hard case is a vintage Guild that works well, but is worn. One latch needs new rivets. I had no plans to sell her, but the purchase of a vintage Les Paul puts my collection over the limit and the wife says I need to thin the heard. You will not be disappointed in this classic Carvin! She will take on any ES335 for far less money!
