The guitar was given to the backstage winner of the FM 95 WIIL Rock contest winner in Chicago. In pretty much mint condition and always in the case and only strummed by Slash. You can see the sticker on the back of the headstock of the contest. The guitar is beautiful and a very nice gift for anyone and a bargain compared to many others that I have seen. I have owned it many years and have cherished it but I thought I would put it out there for a new home. ... At this price, it's around 1/3 of what I have seen going.
