As Gas hits one place I turn to for relief is the GC used section. Many a bargain can be had there if the timing is right. Anywho, I spotted this one there a few days ago and sure enough our AL fanatic xjbebop had posted a link to it in the Ebay/Craigslist section. I figured what the heck. The price was right and it was a HSS configuration. Either a one-off for someone or someone's mod. I figured the latter. Well, I was WRONG! This bad boy is a factory one-off. For whom I have no idea. Here's the factory info on the S/N:
I'm assuming HDWE kit means hardware kit. Not sure what that spec represents. One thing I noticed immediately is that the frets are larger and taller than on the Cherry Punch BFR sitting behind me (that's a NGD for another day
). They also appear to be stainless. Also, you'll notice it's a plain non-roasted Maple neck and fretboard. Now, to the guts. Have a look. Notice the p/n on the HB pickup. It's the custom DiMarzio from the AL HH/Axis. That truly made my day. Lastly, this guitar has barely been touched! The plastic is still on the pickguard and back plate. Nothing came off on the wonder wipe when I cleaned the neck and fret board. Save for the one ding pictured below it is in as-new condition! Amazing. What a lucky day for me.

. Sounds like it’s not split as it seems like the single coil is just added. Sounds amazing. Man I love this guitar. The cleans are perfect. Honeymoon in full swing.
