Seller's description

Is this love that you're feeling? Is this the love that you've been searching for? Maybe. We don't have white snakes in Australia usually, mostly brown and red-belly black snakes, so this is a rare thing indeed. Created in collaboration between the large of hair Adrian Vandenberg and the large of amp Peavey Electronics, back when they made electric guitars and basses and life on earth was good for the most part. Famous for having an obscenely thin neck, thinner even than some Ibanez Super Wizard necks. Has to be like 15 or 16mm at most, extremely flat and shreddy in the back with a tight board radius. Because of this, they're prone to cracking around the truss rod access where there's the least amount of material, which is exactly what has happened here. Little bit of "ejection" under the nut which has been sealed up at some stage in the last 30 years. When you ride the lightning of making a neck barely thicker than the truss rod itself that's the risk you take. Anyway it's not going anywhere, so shred with confidence. Peavey Alnico pickups tilted at a 2 to 4-degree angle parallel to the bottom of the body, designed to correct for string spacing issues when using a Floyd or Kahler in this case. The Kahler in question is a 2710 "Killer" which has a whole cult following. Everything functions as it should electrically, frets are original have been played and levelled a fair bit but are hanging in there. Set up with 10s in Eb it practically plays itself. Yeow! Comes in the ABS Peavey original hard shell case. SN 00002683
