Looks to be in really good shape for its age. Even comes with the trem hex keys and believe it or not the trem arm. I don't think they ship outside the US though.

That's a beautiful example!
Several years ago I picked up a "rescue" LX in a pawn shop for peanuts.
It had been badly abused and the wiring and lock nut were pooched, requiring many hours of work to correct everything.
When finished though, it played like a dream. Extremely versatile machine in a rare candy blue finish!

Cheers Crusty!
It wasn't an easy job but well worth the effort. More tone options than I know what to do with :toopid:

A bit like that PE-450 that was pretty much a derelict when I got it. Still have it and it plays like butter. Jeff Beck in the bridge, Jazz in the neck.
