It is used, and has some small dings but no fret wear. I think it was played very little. I am not thrilled about the color, but that is secondary to how it plays. What do you think the guitar should sell for? I know impossible to say for sure by pictures, but if everything is as it seems...what would you pay for it?

The pickups aint bad but if ya don't like em you can swap...but they are decent pups...I like these V's better than the IBZ's you commonly see stock on some of the Prestige RG's. The Edge Pro trem is as good as any Floyd...or maybe better. The neck is fast! Tuning stability is great!! I'd offer 500 and not pay a dollar more. They retail brand new for around a gran. It's a Prestige model so it's gonna be a nice axe. It's gots some dings. I think it's 3-4 years old. The case is worth 40 bucks. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But if you are not gigging out right away, they will get you buy until you find something to replace them with. You may have to add a bit more gain for the time being. That guitar is something of a shredder classic and the necks on that vintage were quite nice. Very fast. Todd You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I had to replace the bridge pickup because it was really bad, so I put in the tone zone from dimarzio. I quite like the neck pickup though.

They're perfect for that, because you pick any one of these up off a shelf and they all feel the same and play great. Where-as I find although strats are really nice, if you pick up 2 different strats they can feel worlds apart. However, if you buy one of these, you know exactly what you're getting. Been using it for about 7/8 months now, can't fault it I'd definantly get one of these again if I needed a new one. Or an S series, I really fancy one of those now, grrrr!
