Yea Duff she really does look good. If you have the first letter of the serial, and the year you can probably find out where it was made, and when.
Was it a new guitar, or a very slightly used one, by the look of it.
The gold is still real clean and bright. As I mentioned I love my Elitist Custom, and I owned a Korean Custom Plus. That one is the only guitar I traded that I would kill to have back. I am currently looking for one and have a wanted add out for one. I had 3 replies and none were Customs. I wish people would read and comprehend. One reply was for a Special with a bolt on neck.
Oh well I am jealous, congrats for sure.
The Blues is alright!
