so i've decided to sell my modified UV, for real this time... i'm asking 550 shipped to your door, was in an accident recently, and my truck got totalled, and the money i'm getting from it isn't enough to cover the car i'm buying as well as cover rent... its got 1 Dimarzio Blaze Bridge, and a diamond plate pick guard, and all it has is 1 volume knob. i spent a lot of time trying to make this guitar sound great to me, and i think i got it where i want it... the neck and single pickup have been filled with swamp ash, the bridge pickup direct mounted(there are 2 small holes in the pick guard where the screws used to go, which i use for screwdriver access in case i want to adjust the pickup, its fully adjustable both up and down, the plugs i used to direct mount it were also swamp ash, the excess area in the control cavity has also been filled with swamp ash, basically theres only enough room right now for a volume pot. the input jack is a little touchy, but i've not really had much issue with it, especially if you are like me and you loop your cable through your strap... its got a set of strap locks on it... the tremelo is blocked off using swamp ash as well... the head of one of the trem studs busted out on one side, it still holds the tremelo on perfectly, but if you decide to unblock the tremelo, itd be best to replace it, as when the tremelo isn't blocked off, because of the broken stud it will lose sustain. nothing a couple bucks couldn't fix if the tremelo is your thing... this also comes with the UV1000 case, which is in perfect condition. there is 1 guy who wants it, but can't have the money to me just yet, so if someone here gets it first its all yours. there is a small ding on the top of the guitar on the comfort curve, as well as another ding on the other side of the guitar around the same area, neither are through the paint.the back has a few very small chips but nothing too horrible. the frets are wonderful, virtually no fret wear, the tuners are in good order... the neck is in great shape, i'd say a 10 out of 10. i don't have the truss rod cover.the edge bar is also included, as is shipping... the only picture i have is the one on my website, here it is, as i don't have a digicam, and it is a bit dirty in this pic, please forgive that... the pick guard was made by sharp concepts.

someone is going to get a great deal on this. i paid 599 for it, and i feel its worth more, but i need to sell it quick like, so i can get on with my life lol

edit: btw i'm in Tempe, AZ right now
