Selling a Jackson Stars LTD ASL-TN01. Blue Flamed Maple Top. Limited Edition. Made by FujiGen/Chushin Gakki, Japan. 2007 model.

Looking into acquiring some other gear, so this one has to go. A bit of a shame...

Sounds huge! A Mahogany Soloist, go figure. Could be better than some of its American cousins...
Very loud and resonant even when played unplugged.
Incredible Blue Flamed Maple Top with scraped natural binding. Lots of contrast in the figuring.
All Mother of Pearl inlay work.

It is in excellent condition; only a few minor dings on the body and the usual Jackson pointy headstock chipping (very small), a natural looking ebony fretboard (doesn't give the impression of shiny black plastic), frets have plenty of life left in them, no buckle rash on the back, and all hardware is clean and shiny. The back plate for the tremolo cavity was missing when I first got the guitar.
Check the photos below.

All original hardware and electronics: Seymour Duncan TB-4 Bridge Humbucker, SH-1N Neck Pickup, Floyd Rose Original in Chrome and Gotoh Tuners.

Modifications: None

The tremolo arm for the Floyd Rose Original is included.
The original hard case is included.
All Japanese documentation and Music Store cards included.

£1400 / €1600 / $1800. No trade offers please.
Will negotiate collection and/or shipping details with buyer. Open to international buyers. No CITES restrictions, yippee!

I have no idea about Soop's ordeal. Was it of comedic proportions as well?

This Jackson took just shy of a year to get sold. With only one price drop.

And about twenty-five laughable offers/haggles over on SevStr.orgytastic. For example:

Them: "I can get it direct from Japan for brand new, and so much cheaper, so I'll offer you 550 Euros, shipping included."

Me: "They don't make these anymore: Limited Edition, produced in 2007 only. I think that you got your Yen conversion rates completely wrong. So. Er, no thanks."

Haha, you're very quick with those. You could add a cheeky disclaimer about the B.M being one of those Feline ghost builds...

Bloody hell, that must have been agony for him. :scream:

I thought that the couple of months for the eventual sale of the UV7BK was bad (as mentioned before). When did awesome electric guitars officially fall out of favour? Half a decade ago?
Are Turntables and Synths truly taking over?
