While hunting for another guitar to flip, I stumbled across this:

And, wow, did it catch my eye. Reached out to the guy to see what kind of deal I could work, thinking I could get it to flip. He didn't want to budge off his price, but we did chit chat for a bit and then I walked away from it.
A few days later I came across the listing while hunting again and my wife was right next to me so I showed it to her to get her opinion. She LOVED it. So, I did some research and came to the conclusion I could flip it and make $100-150 probably. Then I thought about it some more and started wondering if I could keep it and sell the SL2Q I bought a few months back instead. With that thought, I decided to go play it.
Went and checked it out - the thing is flawless. Set up exquisitely (except he has the pickups really low) and it plays like butter. He offered to throw in a hardshell case so I bought it.
Got it home, connected it to the Axe FX and bounced through a few presets I've made and landed on one that sounded really good - which surprised me since it has the "Duncan Designed" pups in it.
Worst case, if I keep it, I'll pull my Elysian Trident II out of my 540SLTD and put it in this one, then put the stock pickup back in the Saber since I never play it anymore.
Now, I have to decide which guitar to keep. This one, or this one.
Or, maybe I sell the 540SLTD...
Anyway, it's a 2019 SLX DX, for those who hadn't figured that out already. And, Big Dave, gonna need that tremolo (GOTOH?) purchase link you gave me at the old site when I was looking at the swirly one of these.
