Very nice guitar with the Fernandes sustainer which is same system Steve vai uses in his flo guitar. I swapped my amp for this guitar last year and have only played it twice :( have a few guitars I already play live! It currently has the black scratchplate on but can be put back to the picture with the white one on if preferred as will put new strings on anyway for the winner. The guy had the sustainer fitted when he bought the guitar and in total the guitar had cost him almost £3000, so grab a bargain if looking for this particular set up. Thanks for looking
