That is a pretty good deal. I got mine for $300 and it included free
shipping and a gig bag. Store said it was a demo and has some minor
blemishes. Turns out someone had flipped the bridge around so the
intonation was all wrong and the stings buzzed really bad. I flipped
the bridge back around and it was good as new.
The pickups are really high and the output is really loud so I plan
on messing with the height some to balance everything out. Altough
the high output drives my distortion pedal into a place it's never
been before, and I think it likes it. The pickups being that close
to the strings bothers me anyway and the magnets have to be
affecting the string vibration being that close.
