Thx guys!
I"m in :love: :love: :love:

Just needs a clean up.
Clean up fretboard and oil.
Set up action...

No scratch, dings... No electronics noise.
Can you see these big potentiometers? Are they stock? Never seen this kind before?

Could not agree more about it raining VSH455s :hyper:
I to picked one up in brown and it is also an 82 vintage. Must be the week for them :D .
Mine to looks to be in reasonable shape and it comes with its original case (will know more at lunch time tomorrow when I get to see it in the flesh).
Mine came with a Peavey Pro 112 amp and also has a foot switch and leads.
Very happy boy this side of the pond I must say.

Love the look of the one you have so hope mine looks somewhere near as good as yours.

Well done on the great score
Cheers

You guys are making me envious :cry:

Waitin' for Barry now to pick up the cheapo VSH 445 - that would finally engulf me in a crisis :bawl: (I've paid 5 times as much for my 445!! :blush: )
