2019 CME Spec R8 in Kindred Burst.

Truly a stellar guitar here - I'm the original owner, purchased Dec 2019. Has been my #1 with a P90 in the bridge (though restored the CME spec pickup for sale) until very recently when I started playing an SG. I am covering a lot of the same ground with the SG, so looking to find a lightweight LP Special and some money in my pocket.

Has some honest play wear/minor dings - I tried to catalog everything in pictures in the attached google folder. I can take additional pictures if needed... it's a little overcast, so for instance the interior of the case here looks a little more towards purple than it seems in person, but the guitar looks pretty close to how it looks to me in hand. I threw CME's original pics in there as well and give a different view of the color... I'd say in person it's somewhere in the middle of my pics/their pics color wise. Really great burst!

$4150 + actual shipping
