    And it's everything is hoped it would be, and more.

    According to the Ernie Ball forums, the serial number dates it to October '02. I don't think the previous owner has ever cleaned or conditioned the fretboard. I also don't think he owned a pair of pliers or wire cutters either. He wound the whole string around the pegs. (Take a look at the B string peg)

    Nice one Muzza. How much did that set you back and where did you find it?

    Agree about the poor string setup which tends to scream beginner owner perhaps?
