Up for sale is a mint limited edition Washburn Custom Shop Aged Red PS2012 Time Traveller (which is their version of a Firebird). This guitar is heavily hand aged from factory and looks and plays absolutely killer!! The tone that comes out of this thing is unbelievable. It comes in its original case, which is also factory distressed to fit the overall look and feel. These retailed for close to USD$5000 and very few were made!Here's the official blurb...The Washburn Time Traveler guitars are hand crafted and aged to look, feel and play as if they're 50 years old. Built in the Washburn USA Custom Shop, these limited edition guitars utilize premium woods and components for incredible tone and unmatched playability. Each guitar feels and plays as if it were a worn and well broken in old friend. No two are alike, making each one a collectible in its own right and a Certificate of Authenticity is included with each.The PS2012R features a mahogany body with a carved raised center and a 3 ply aged white/black/white pickguard with aged Starfire logo. A mahogany set neck sports a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and custom pearl/abalone split block inlays. The reverse headstock is accentuated by a similarly shaped trussrod cover with aged Starfire logo. A bone nut adds sustain and helps prevent string binding. Premium aged nickel Grover 18:1 tuners provide smooth, stable tuning and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System ensures perfect musical intonation. An aged nickel Tone Pros tune-o-matic bridge is combined with a custom aged tailpiece machined from solid aluminum for ultimate tone transfer and sustain.Seymour Duncan SM-3 mini humbuckers were chosen for their ability to produce a sparkling clean vintage tone yet have the output to drive the front end of classic amps into full overdrive and sonic nirvana. A 3-way selector switch and separate tone and volume controls provide a wide palette of selectable tones.Inspired by Kiss co-founder Paul Stanley’s appreciation for vintage instruments – and loosely based on Washburn’s Paul Stanley Starfire model – the PS2012 Time Traveler is hand-built in Washburn’s Custom Shop in Chicago and relic’d by renowned vintage guitar restorer, Gord Miller, to look and play like a 50-year-old instrument.Shipping Australia wide using Qantas Freight (you will need to collect from your nearest airport) or Australia Post. Alternative shipping can be arranged at the cost of the buyer. International shipping using Australia Post. Pick up available from Sydney's eastern beaches.
