I have owned this guitar for several years and never had it out of the house, and seldom play it at home. When I play out, I usually play a Tele or Strat, not much Jazz styling in contemporary praise music.
This is a 2004 model, and plays and sounds great. The only marks I could find on it is a spot of very slight buckle rash on the back, which can only be seen in reflective light. I think I read that the pickup is a Kent Armstrong, but I can't verify that. It comes with the original hard shell, Cello style case that is in excellent condition. These cases are TOUGH and padded well to really protect the guitar. The pictures pretty much describe the guitar, but I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
The price is $1200, shipping included in the lower 48. I prefer a cashiers check for payment, but I will accept Paypal if you want to pay the fee.
Here are the specs:
Amber finish
Double bound 16" body
Single cutaway
Carved spruce top
Bound oval soundhole
Maple sides, back and neck
Bound ebony fretboard
Side dot markers
22 frets,
Adjustable ebony bridge
Trapeze tailpiece with ebony overlay
Bound headstock overlay with logo
Modern tuners with stairstep buttons
Floating pickup with volume control mounted on ebony pickguard
Gold hardware
1-3/4" nut
24-3/4" scale

Hey Bob,
That was an exceptional sounding P/P, I've regretted selling it ever since I did. I had a black lacquer '75 at the same time, but could never get it to sound as good as the one you got. I still think the best steel tone I ever got was with that guitar, and a '69, blackfaced Fender Twin with a 15" JBL. I've never gotten that sound with anything else.
Keep pickin' it.
