This guitar is essentially mint with the exception of the bridge pickup being swapped with a single coil sized Humbucker (no routing). The pickguard has also been swapped, the original pickguard and bridge pickup are included. Not a mark on it, plays and sounds great. Comes with everything as new (paperwork, etc,). This was a CME exclusive and retailed for $2,150 new. From CME:
