Love the headstock on the new one. Straight string pull; why wouldn't you?

Reverb. From a shop called Cream City Music. They were terrific to deal with. I got it here via Youshop, which pushed the cost up a bit, but it also meant that the customs clearance process was far quicker than usual (because they email you the details).

I've ordered a few things through Reverb (pickups, a bridge etc), but this was the first guitar purchase. The process has been great every time actually. You can make offers on most things, and the sellers often counter-offer if you're on the low side. Quite a few of the sellers will ship to NZ too, which definitely makes things easier and cheaper than using Youshop, but I've found that direct US shipping is often REALLY slow.

Needs nail holes so you can easily fix it to the wall.
