I'm looking for a Suhr or Anderson (or possibly other, ie Grosh, Tyler) guitar with (mostly) the specs below. Items in bold are priorities.

• 1 5/8" nut width (NO 1 11/16" nut widths please)
• 25 1/2" scale (NO 24 3/4" scale)
• prefer medium to larger necks (no slim necks please)
• rosewood fingerboard preferred, but will consider all maple neck only with ash body
• prefer 10" radius, but will go with Anderson's 12" radius
• prefer medium to jumbo stainless steel frets, but will consider any guitar provided the frets are in reasonably good condition (or if seller will adjust price comensurate with new fret job)
• truss rod MUST WORK, and neck must be straight, without warps - no exceptions
• Tele style body preferred over Strat style
• body wood (in order of preference) basswood, alder, ash (ONLY with maple neck)
• prefer solid body wood over chambered / hollow
• flame maple, walnut or koa top is cool; I'm not crazy about quilt, but will consider all grained woods
• I prefer stained woods over painted woods; I tend to lean towards traditional and "woody" stain finishes (tobacco, amber, tigers eye / Bengal burst, root beer, etc.)
• HSS or HSH pickup configuration preferred, but may go with SSS depending on the particular guitar
• HSS or HSH pickups with splitable bridge pickup is a big plus
• Suhr's SSC (or back plate version) is a big plus
• Conventional 5 way switch preferred over Anderson Switcheroo system
• vintage tremolo or hardtail (NO Floyd Rose trems)

If you have an Anderson for sale, please provide the serial number. For any guitar, be able to provide clear, detailed photos. I expect signs of wear on used gear, but just need to be aware before I committ to buying. Also, please be upfront about ANY modifications. I'm willing to pay a fair price for a new guitar, too, but haven't found many with the features I'm looking for.

Ready to buy, willing to wait for the right guitar. I can pay via PayPal or money order. Have great references. 1991 (?) Les Paul '57 reissue gold top available for trade considerations.

whatcha got?
