The finish looks like it's been stored in a case in a hot climate for years or pulled out of a flood. Neck finish looks yellowish. I would be concerned and request a 48 hour trial period.

He should call it "relic'd" and ask another $1000 for it. |

My nose itches just looking at the photos from the link: picasaweb.google.com/110810045277264946672/Rickysmall?authkey=Gv1sRgCKfB77X-4oPebg That's some bad mold eating away at the finish. The neck appears to be delaminating too. THRASHER!!! |

A friend of mine had his neck-through Spector sit in water for a few days because of a basement flood, and the neck came apart and all. . . it was a mess, a lot worse than the Ric in question. But a good tech/luthier put if back together better than new without much trouble. |
