$6,200 + shipping. No trade offers, please.
After 6 months with this delightful axe, I've decided to move it along. This guitar represented an opportunity to try a lot of things I was interested in, and I'm grateful I got to temporarily hold a "forum legend" like this one.
It's definitely worth checking out Fogdart's previous listing for more (better) photos and this guitar's awesome backstory:
Fogdart's 2022 Listing
Spec sheet is included in photos, and to top-line some other details:
I did some rough math, and with 2025 FB prices this spec-out would conservatively put you in the neighborhood of $11K CAD new (before taxes). Even then, it has several "off menu" customizations and out of supply materials that you just wouldn't be able to get any more.
Condition-wise, there is some honest cosmetic wear, small nicks and scuffs, swirl marks, etc... It has been played and loved but well taken care of. There is nothing that interferes with playing. I'm happy to take and share more photos as needed.
There is a larger vertical finish crack near the volume knob which is stable and hasn't developed or increased at all (I compared it to pictures from 3-4 years ago).
There was a full professional setup and fretwork within the last 20 hours of playtime. I also had the pickup selector switch replaced as it was feeling clunky and starting to cut out in the bridge position.
If I don't hit post soon I'll just fuss over this forever, so here goes
