Hi folks!

I'm GAS-ing for a Kemper.
So if you have that lying around, I'd gladly do this guitar with a $$ topup on my end for the toaster :). I do love the guitar, but it's such a duplicate for my H-S-H pink one that I hardly played it at all.

Only other (very specific :) ) trade considered: a Kiesel Vader 27" 7-string in either natural or yellow finish.

Back to the guitar. This is an amazing superstrat which can go from a modern rock or hard rock machine to classic tones in a pinch. It has a 'typical' 5-way switch, but also has 2 push-pulls on the knobs: a split for the humbucker and a 'bridge on' to engage the bridge pickup in all positions for some 'tele' sounds. Can't get more flexible than that, and if you haven't tried those carvin pickups in a superstrat, you're in for a treat.
This guitar plays and sounds head to head with a Suhr Modern.

This was one of the first treated fretboards done by Jeff, and you'd need to pay a bunch for getting a top like this one + the requested 'super-thin' blue burst to match the fretboard. A very nice aqua too, that doesn't turn yellow-ish or greenish like some do.

You can send me cash offer, but I have a good chunk of $$ in the guitar, which is like new - so offers like "It's only a Carvin here's 500 bucks" will be ignored :). Plus as mentioned, I'm mostly looking for a trade.

Cheers!

Can't complain about offers if you don't put a price

If you didn't read that properly, I haven't said anything about cash offers.
I've got a few of those, and the discussion has been good.

I was just saying I needed cash and was not interested in trade offers at this stage (and I can't edit the initial post).
