Serial # HJ000762, $600.
Good condition, typical minor dings, dents,
scratches, scuffs, chipping, swirl marks, etc, throughout.
Noticeable color shift in the finish, which according to the '90 catalog
was originally blue, now looks more like a faded blue-green.
Gloss finish on the body is good to excellent throughout.
Plays well, electronics work.
Very slight bridge lift.
Original case has considerable wear and some delamination, latches work.
Prefer local pickup in the St. Louis MO area, will
ship anywhere in the continental US for $75.

Tempting. If I hadn't have recently bought one from Grot, though I like the blue better.

GAD, reading through your site earlier today - the clear coat on these
guitars may have something to do with the wild color shift?
When I lifted the access panel, I expected
to see "Electric Blue" under it, but the paint there is just as
blue-green as the rest of the guitar.

Interesting. I can tell you that Grot’s is blue like the one in the catalog. I may not be able to pass it up for long.

I believe there's still some of the original blue, but it's
perhaps still in the slow process of changing - fyi it's every bit
as mottled as the pix show. The tip of the cutaway has maintained
a bit more blue than even the underside of the cover.
