It's a pre-owned, 2017 AL-2500 TC VWH which arrived in Near Mint condition, with a set of Dunlop Straploks installed by the original owner, who was nice enough to include the original strap buttons, as well!
Yeah, thanks, I agree: from fat, twangy country (with no icepick high end, thanks to that mahogany slab) through early Zeppelin on the bridge pickup, and from vintage rock 'n' roll and rockabilly through classic rawk and punk on the neck. Some very cool alt and indie tones, too, with both pickups combo'd. All in all, 8.5lb of very affordable awesome!

Have always wanted to try this wood in this shape with this pickup configuration to see how I felt about it all -- am loving it, BTW -- but the other couple examples in the marketplace that I'm aware of are priced at the (way) high end of the retail market, and one those two makers only offers "relics," which is not for me.
