Touring guitar/recording guitar used with Cradle of Filth. Used on every single tour I did, varying from main, to backup, it's been toured, so I am not making any excuses for it's condition. Was used on the Nymphetamine and Nymphetamine special edition album, and a little on Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa recordings. Pickups are an SD JB and a Dimarzio PAF. Tape on pickups is to stop the strings catching. 5 way switch was removed on the 2003 winter US Type O Negative stretch of the Damnation and a Day album tour, it's done Russia, Ozzfest 2003, European 2003, Nymphatime 2004 world tour (US,Europe,South America), 2009 European Godspeed tour, 2011-2012 Darkly Darkly US/Asia/Russia/Australia/Etc and been through the mill. Still plays great though, just beat up, as you'd kind of expect after that much use. This comes with metal flight case it's lived in. Originally it was a 95 rg550, but has had an rg5ex1 neck put on, and the changes to electrics (is les paul wiring). Last 4 frets scalloped, neck shaved down and reprofiled. Apart from strings guitar is as is from last run of shows I played before my neck injury stopped me in my tracks. Decals were applied at a german festival some point in 2011 I think (In return for publicity, and also as I'm slightly obsessed by skulls). Basically this guitar is exactly as it was before my neck surgery in 2013. Despite it's condition, this thing still shreds, and is tons of fun to play.Postage wise I would prefer collection as the case is heavy (full spec touring flight case), but will post it. Postage price has been updated to reflect the extra cost of posting it in the case it's lived in for it's touring life as it is heavy.
