Hi all,

this is is my 87’ lester.
Serial - 80747558

it has Tim Shaws as it’s an early 87. It plays great. It’s going for a fret level and set up. I’m also having the gap between the nibs and frets filled.

I initially wanted a standard but on talking with someone and playing a few of their customs I pestered him into selling me this one.

According to him him he bought it from the original owner and has had it ever since all original. I have some doubts. As it had deffo had a new nut. And has since had another new one. I’m not worried as it’s a players guitar and will remain one.
My only concern is it looks as though the necks been painted. As there’s paint on the binding. Opinions please.
