Serviced and setup here at Cushmic Sounds with D'Addario 9.42 strings, frets cleaned and polished, fretboard cleaned and lightly oiled, intonation and action set, truss rod tested and works as it should, electronics tested and working perfectly, all hardware cleaned and secured.
Frets are in Excellent condition so playability is superb!
Overall condition is Good but with playwear throughout, there is a noticeable knock at the lower front towards the tone knob, some minor dings, some light oxidisation on the Hardware, Tuners and Trem Arm, and as you can see, the Fluoro Pink colour has faded from the pickups.
NOTE: This is a second owner guitar and was signed by Steve Vai at a guitar clinic here in Perth back in the mid-2000s. While I don't have provinence, I do know the original owner who has a photo of himself with the guitar after having it signed at the clinic. Rest assured, it is definitely Steve Vai's hand written signature.
