Item Description: I believe I’m the 3rd owner of this beauty. #24 UMGF edition 00-18VS Slothead 24.9 scale. The saddle is fossilized mammoth ivory, according to the original owner. Overall in nice condition, with minor wear that mostly requires light reflection to see. The items that do stand out are two finish dings near the bottom of the front. And the slots head does show some scratching from the strings over the years. The previous owners installed an ebony nut (which helps with the tone!) in place of the bone nut as evidenced by the finish around nut. It had a pickup installed and I removed it and replace the jack with a Stew Mac No Jack which gives it a factory look, but easily removed and it’s ready for your favorite pickup. It does have a little fret wear around the 2nd through the 4th, but not bad at all. Structurally it’s in great shape and has a great tone and lots of volume for a smaller guitar. Strings don’t have but a couple hours of use but the guitar has been sitting in the case for about a year, which is why I’m selling.nI added the ebony arm rest, which is easily removed without harming the finish, but after you feel how it positions your arm and has no edge to dig into your arm you’ll probably keep it on. Action is nice and low, with a full saddle still. Plays really easy. Specs are below, except for the changes noted. This is #24 out of approximately 200 of this model.
