I sent an email inquiring about this guitar, so hopefully I'll go see and play it, if not yet sold. Like Aphook and Ain't no life nowhere above said, every guitar is unique, even if they all start out roughly the same at the factory; and even then it changes from year to year with materials and craftsmanship, and previous owners. I lucked out when I ordered my SRV Strat from Fender in 1992, but I can't ever see myself ordering a guitar again, like many do.
