I just don't really use this. I cannot get used to the Manly neck. :p
This one has the wood fretboard, not aluminum. 1 7/8 inch nut. And adjustable bridge, so if you don't like the height you can change it. Lyrachord bowl, Plastic top. There are some cracks in the binding and it looks like somebody glued it back together. There are also some cracks in the Rollers on the headstock, but they work well. I put EJ16's on there. It came with Silk-n-Steels, but I didn't like them. When I changed the strings, the rollers did Not fall-apart like I was skeered they would.
It will come with a non-O case. It is a nice functional case but it has a chunk of foam rubber in there to hold the Academy in place. The case is worth half the asking price, but it ain't no beauty queen neither.



A bunch More phots Here... I cannot get the photos from Ning to here for some reason.

$135 plus Shipping to Conus. Shipping will depend on where you live. FX or whichever you like.
PM me with any questions.

...and it didn't hurt a thing! Unless you grabbed the hot part!

In that case it would probably end up being recycled to reduce your Carbon Footprint and go Green after an esoteric multi-chordal appeal for humanity to become unified beige thru a better awareness of consumption and colateral usage...
... Can you grab me a Tee-Shirt?

Woody,

When I first saw this post, I thought it had a standard peg head, not a slot. That's what I get for not using my glasses. I would have bought it.
