Awesome PT Custom HSS Floyd. I bought this from N Stuff Music just over 2 months ago in late June. This is truly an awesome Super Strat in every sense of the word, from looks to feel to playability to tone! I feel like I bought it without a lot of forethought, as it's the third Super Strat in my stable currently. I have another that has a lot more sentimental value and so I'm going to let this one go.

It has just the very lightest hints of use - primarily on the pickguard in the usual spot below the humbucker. No discernable scratches, dings or dents on the body, neck or headstock. There was the tiniest whisp of a scratch on the neck plate that was there when I received it new, but other than that, it looks as fresh as can be. I brought the guitar to my luthier to get it set up with 9's, as it comes with 10's. As such, there is one tremolo spring removed and in the case. It has never left my smoke-free, pet-free studio, other than for the aforementioned luthier set-up.

Here's the copy of the text from the N Stuff ad with all the specs listed:

The Ultimate High-Output Rock Machine:
At the heart of the PT Signatue Custom HSS is John Suhr's favorite high output humbucker, the SSH Plus. This pickup is renowned for its powerful, high-gain output, delivering searing leads and aggressive rhythms that cut through any mix.

FU-Tone Bridge with D-Tuna (Blocked for Dive Only):
Built to withstand the most demanding whammy bar techniques, the FU Tone bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability and superior intonation with a solid brass block and titanium screws and inserts. Dive-bombs and squeals have never sounded so good or stayed in tune so perfectly. Equipped with the D-Tuna for easy drop tuning at the drop of a hat.

"Each year in the winter, I head over to Europe to do a string of dates with The Classic Rock Show. Before the last tour, looking at the set list, I had a thought - I need one supercharged version of my signature model, a high output rock machine that can withstand hardcore whammy abuse! We contacted FU Tone about a bridge, and I spec'd John Suhr's favorite high output humbucker, the SSH+. The PT Signature Custom HSS was born!" - Pete Thorn
