Concerto412 is a jewel in the rough
FS : AX7521 CF & Kramer Nightswan (56k beware)

Just as I said, I won't be keeping the AX7521.
For anyone that might not know, specs are - made in japan, mahogany body, 3pc maple/bubinga neck, tilt headstock w/spanish joint, 22fret rosewood FB, 24 3/4" scale, 4-bolt AANJ, chrome string-thru hardtail, grover minis, dual IBZ humbuckers (either Axis or V7-7/V8-7, unmarked).
Playability is great, and the neck profile is among the most comfortable 7 stringers I've tried. For what they are, they really are great guitars.
This one is in fairly good shape, but a players guitar - there are a few dings on the body, the 4 worst go through to the wood, and have shown in the side pics. They're all pretty small.
Guitar will be shipped in a hardshell case, Any other questions feel free to ask.
$250 shipped in Canada, + actual costs elsewhere





*sorry for the photo quality

Next is my longtime main player, the Kramer Nightswan. I am surprised to find myself even considering this, but lately I've really wanted to overhaul my rig, so some space must be cleared.
specs - made in USA, mahogany body, 3pc maple neck, tilt headstock w/volute, thick 24 fret ebony board, 'Pearl Pong' inlay, 24 3/4" scale, 4-bolt plate, black OFR, schaller tuners, dual humbuckers.
The Duncan Full Shred in the bridge suits mahogany better than any other wood, the low end becomes punchy, tight and defined, and the highs sear with full, bright attack. the middle position is your call, I received the guitar with a vintage Gibson (t-top/dirty fingers era) humbucker in the middle; great for a little clean versatility but when distorted it didnt have a very dissimilar tone to the bridge position - the plague of all nightswans. What is in there now is a vintage DiMarzio, pulled from the neck of an 81 USA Dean V. It's output means that it, like the Full Shred, is a little too aggressive for great cleans (but you know what a volume knob is, right?) but it gets a singing higain tone that feels a little more like a real neck pup, with just a little more edge. I can ship as is or reinstall the Gibson if you prefer.
Guitar is in good shape, the Frets have been recrowned but still have lots of life in them, and the body shows a couple of dings, but nothing through to the wood. The worst is a little wear at the edge of the bridge cavity, through the clearcoat to the metallic undercoat. The Floyd is solid as ever, with cosmetic wear mostly on the fine tuners, and includes the arm. this is the early style, with 1pc woodscrew mounting studs, so you dont have to wory about locking/non-locking stud inserts. The neck has some playing wear but has been kept up with the odd steel wool/tung oil/lemon oil treatment to keep it clean.
One last note, not necessarily a question of value, but definitely ups the metal-factor. This particular swan happens to be serial no. F 6660
Guitar ships in an SKB hardshell, with trem arm and allen key. Feel free to ask me anything, I'll try to be as helpful as I can.
Looking for $1050 shipped in canada, or + actual costs elsewhere.

*With Gibson middle pup

*With DiMarzio






*Faded RTL sticker included on backplate
Guitars are in Kingston, Ontario (canada), K7K 1Y3
My eBay user ID is Concerto412, though it hasn't seen a lot of activity.

*edit* - sorry about the quality of pics, the hq pics of the nightswan were taken a few months back when I still had my nikon D50, broken in March on a hiking trip in Nicaragua.

I've never shipped overseas before, but I imagine shipping would cost and arm and a leg. I'll look into it and see if I can get a shipping estimate

as far as trades, I would prefer a cash sale but the right offer may tempt me.

Although, don't kill yourself over getting the estimation, dude.

I've never played this guitar but I'm still considering it seeing as the exchange rate is so ridiculously favourable.

ok, Ive been fighting to get a better lit picture of these, but computer technology (the proverbial kick in the testes in all that i do) lacked the foresight to give my webcam a manual configuration option, so the camera tries to auto adjust itself to the room. the above are, believe it or not, the best fruits of my efforts, mushy and bruised as they may be.
Both cases have a few scuffs on the exterior, but are sturdy, soft-lined, and in great shape.
