There is damage to the top, cracks, running from the tone control. Visible in one photo only and not mentioned in the listing

I think what you are seeing as cracks, is really the outline of the clear pickguard. :searching:

The guitar was for sale on another forum maybe three / four years ago, with different photos, it definitely has cracks.

You are correct, upon further inspection of the photo, I definitely see a crack from the control plate to the bridge and a crack running from the bottom
of the control plate screw down. :shocked003:

Too bad, this guitar was maxed out with many options. Buyer beware.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Had it not been for the damage I probably would have bought that one, a real Liberace Lefty if ever there was one :angel:

I checked our G&L Registry and found it was registered without an owner. It apparently has a four way pickup switch, too. I added a note about the cracks on the top near the control plate.

Admin note: So as to preserve this thread, I have made a copy and placed it in the G&L products (1992 to present) sub-forum.
