Location: Utah | Offered here before going to the Bay or that guy's list. A 6778LX Elite in Vintage Natural finish. Excellent like-new condition. Guitars on the wall at your local shop don't look this good!
Absolutely pristine condition with no damage or marks. I've had this guitar nearly a year and love it, but it has to go in order to help fund the new 2007 Collector's.
The original owner had a professional setup done, which included slightly lowering the action at the nut. The playability and feel is second to none on this guitar. Currently installed are one normal and one half thickness saddle shim. You could pull out the half thickness shim if you aren't going to play above the 12th fret often. Normally I don't have the half shim in there, but a recent recording project included playing some lead passages above the 12th fret and there was a touch of fret buzz with only one shim.
In the spirit of full disclosure, there are 3 or maybe 4 tiny bumps on the top finish. They don't photograph, but at just the right angle reflecting a light you can see a slight pinhead sized bump in the finish where it apparently went on a bit thicker when being sprayed on.
The guitar has been kept in a non-smoking humidity controlled home. Played in church about twice per month since last November.
$699 shipped in the USA.
Single side eppis, OpPro, medium depth bowl, A-grade top, rosewood fretboard and bridge. Walnut neck I believe.
The second picture was taken under artificial light and the wood color at the top is incorrect. It was the only decent picture I could get of the front of the headstock to show it's condition. The wood along that top strip is the same as the color on the back of the neck, as seen in the next picture down of the back of the headstock.

Location: Tuscany, Italy | Its really a nice guitar ! Love it.
Lack of fund refrain me to grab it now. As you, I have to sell the only Korean Celebrity model I own to fund a new purchase.
BTW, any difference with the model 6778LX 5M ?
Thanks and good luck for the sale.

Location: Utah | Riccardo, the 6778LX 5M has a gloss black top with a maple epaulet. It is a very nice looking guitar also. |
