Personal Thoughts:
The Mystic Surf Green finish absolutely pops in person—bold, unique, and dripping in Custom Shop relic charm. The handwound 60s pickups nail that chimey, scooped vintage tone while staying dynamic and expressive. It’s got a slick-feeling 60s Oval C neck, classic 7.25" radius for slinky playability, and the relic job makes it feel like an old friend from the first note.The Schaller gold pearl tuners add a classy twist that you won’t find on many of these—subtle but killer.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. Light signs of use as expected from the relic finish but nothing beyond the Custom Shop aging from what I can see. Frets are perfect, setup is spot-on, and it comes with all case candy.Part exchange welcome, video demos are available via our YouTube channel at Squealing Pig Guitars, personal consignment service available via our site at 10% rate.
