About a year or so ago I made some improvements to the guitar, Bruce from TAG installed SS frets ($300), new volume and tone pots, and a new nut. I put in a new 5 way switch, took out the HO1+ in the neck and the SD1 in the middle and replaced with SF1 and SF1R pickups. The SF1s aren't on the market to the public yet, very few have these pickups, Eric from TAG said they will will soon replace the SA1s, they're not as harsh (his words) as the SA1s, great single coil sound. TAG made a new pickguard for the different pickup config, it now has vintage voicing and B5 switching.

There are two blemishes on the guitar - on the back of the neck around 7th fret there's a small indentation in the wood, doesn't affect playing and I rarely notice it. Also, on the front there's a 1/2 inch hairline scratch that's fairly deep, but doesn't go into the wood. I couldn't get this to pick up on my camera, it's very small and not noticeable unless you're within a couple feet from the instrument and in the right lighting. GORGEOUS instrument and sounds amazing. I'd like $1650 for it, I'll include the original pickguard with HSH config too. Thanks for looking.
