Please mention by name what you are trying to contact me about(Kay guitar,Peavey amp etc).Generic questions ie:(Hello do you still have it if so where and when can it be picked up?)are considered spam.This might be a real buyer but I won't respond.Tired of Wilford Brimly hawking diabetes remedies.
I had a dual pick up version of this with a whammy bar. Same color too. Loved it,but sold it when I got my Gibson SG. I really wish I had not sold it now. R.Kelly
