Hollow,
Let me know on the guard, I've got the template so any time you need one let me know.
Dave,
I work in a music store and there are standards that you really should adhere to. If you're gonna say mint, it should be at the very least all original without any sign that it has even been played. If you're going to get real technical mint should be "as new" as in newly minted, you ought to have all the docs and case candy as well. Kinda like the 'Bird in the box, that would qualify as "dead mint" ( or maybe just dead
) since we don't know where or at least how the box was stored.
Oh well, I'm going back to re-minting mine!
Cheers All,
Scott ( BassVI )
