I am selling one of my TAGs. Gawd, I hate those words. However, I can't justify keeping two Classics.. This beauty is a Hollow Classic, 04-10-96P. I have saved you the time and printed below the info from Serial Number Search. For those who need immediate gratification, this is hollow Swamp Ash on Ash finished in translucent blonde, with matching headstock, and SA1R-SA1-H2+ pickups. The guitar has the '62 Roundback neck carve, standard 5-way with push/pull "add bridge" and vintage tremolo, all in chrome finish. It has the original case as well.
The guitar is in great shape. I suppose there are a few little nicks here and there, as it is 12 years old, but none that are obvious or significant. I see a little ding on the top of the headstock, but no dents or obvious finish problems . The frets have plenty of life left in them and there are no problems or issues with the guitar. Here is the info from the TAG website on the guitar.
Model - Hollow Classic
Body Finish - Translucent Blonde
Body Wood - Swamp Ash Top on Swamp Ash
Neck Wood - Hard Rock Maple, Madagascar Rosewood Fretboard
Neck Finish - Matching Headstock, Satin Back
Nutwidth - 1 11/16 in
Frets - Heavy
Back Shape - '62 Roundback
Hardware - Chrome
Bridge - Vintage Tremolo
Pickguard - Black Pearloid
Pickups - SA1R SA1 H2+
Switching - 5 Way
Strings - .010-.046 Elixir strings
Comments - BFTS
The only cosmetic anomaly on this guitar is the pickguard situation. It has the original black pearloid pickguard, but not the matching back pieces. The prior owner ordered a white pearloid set and an aged white set from TAG. When I got it, it had the white set on. I loved the Black, so I put it back on the front, and didn't really care about the back, which no one ever sees anyway. You get all the extra pickguards and back pieces, so you can dress the guitar any way you want. I hear you can order the black back pieces from Tom for about $15.
If the pictures don't attach to this post, you can email me directly for pictures. I am asking $1550 plus shipping for the guitar. I am comfortable that is a middle of the road price for a Classic given the current market and prices. If you really disagree with the fairness, let's talk and look at the "data."
Thanks,
