This one has a really nice mahogany back, flame maple top, Holdsworth neck, Rosewood board, stainless steel jumbo frets, HSH confirguration... The pickups are Dimarzio Transition neck and bridge with a True Velvet in the middle. The guitar is in almost perfect condition except for on the back, when the "tech" was adjusting the neck pickup and screwed too far in to the body which caused the wood to punch in to the lacquer on the back. The two marks are tiny and filled, but it was definitely something that I had to disclose. It obviously has no affect on anything and I'm glad it is on the back!  The transitions are great sounding pickups to my ear - well balanced and not overly hot, nor underwound. Also, this one has a special one of a kind finish - Lava California Burst. It was an option 50 that they normally don't do because of the way the lava finish is applied (it's a paint not a stain, or vice versa- can't remember). It is basically natural in the middle bursting out to the lava color.   Did I mention the top and finish on this are amazing? Ships insured in a Carvin soft shell case.
