I purchased this new last year. - Heavy relic specification, 20 fret specification - Mercedes Blue - Body: Alder 2P - Neck: Maple / katalox - Pickup: Lindy Fralin Custom J Set - Pitch: Wide Spaced - Weight: 4.3kg There is no noise or scratchiness in the controls. I will include the hard case that came with the purchase, and a new set of D'Addario nickel strings. I am willing to discount the price somewhat, so please feel free to comment. Thank you for your consideration. m(_ _)m
