Thanks Niels - good shot of the "peaked" changer for those who don't know the difference betwwen the Xl and the older one!

I forgot to mention that the guitar was completely disassembled, cleaned, changer rebuilt with new bushings, pickup replaced and the LKV installed since I bought it here on the Forum for $ 1500. I only lose about $ 100 bucks on each guitar but I make it up on volume

should last anyone a lifetime.

Hey Dave, do you have an idea of what this weighs in the case? I'm wondering what I might gain in portability vs my MSA D-10.

Thanks,
Al

The guitar weighs 39.3 lbs, the case 19.3 lbs total = 58.6 lbs not including leg bag.
