Hi all, here's a 2013 RAM Speak Easy in 2-color burst with Vintage Vibe Charlie Christian and chambered body, owned by me only 1 month. It has several small chips to a very thin finish, so am going to assume Ron the luthier went with nitrocellulose. As you will see in the pics, the bridge is starting to lean forward a bit. This might not be an issue, may be something that can be fixed with a screwdriver, but I am not the guy to try it and am going to let it go to someone more experienced.

The guitar came with a broken tone knob, so I added reproduction ES-150 knobs from Colin at http://ccpickups.co.uk/. I like the esthetic and hope you will too. I also restrung it with an A6 set from the Forum store, and am adding the second fresh set I bought. It will ship with its custom TKL gig bag and the box it came to me in.

I would like to get what I paid, $350 USD plus shipping. I don't intend to get into any haggling on this - the instrument would go for around $1300 if purchased new. I'll ship anywhere, and have found Canada Post to generally be the most reliable and inexpensive. PayPal preferred please, but will accept a postal money order or similar guaranteed payment, with shipment within 2 business days of receipt. Cheers - Mike.

That's a bargain on a great guitar. I have a double neck Speakeasy that is great. The bridge lift looks like something that tightening the screws would take care of, and probably isn't an issue anyway.
