Sold 13/09 - still a bit sad really but…

Finally the time has come to sell my mid 2000’s mint condition DV8. Very rare to find especially in this condition- no dings, chips anywhere. Incredibly minor pick marks that I can’t capture on camera other wise exemplary. This was my pride and joy for many a year and has been very well cared for. No fret wear, all original hardware ;
25-1/2" scale
Neck-thru-body construction
Mahogany body and neck
Rosewood fretboard
24 jumbo frets
TonePros string-thru tune-o-matic-style bridge
Seymour Duncan pickups (JB in the bridge, Jazz in the neck)
2 volumes, 3-way switch, and tone controls
Sperzel locking tuners
8-ball inlay on the 1st fret plus dots
Neck and headstock binding
Supplied with strap and Dunlop strap locks and in a fitted soft shell case (way better than the esp one of the time). 
Selling as I have acquired a Gibson mustaine V! 
Any questions please ask, and welcome to call around and try it out (Ripponden).
Not looking for trades except towards a quad cortex or maybe Fractal Fm3.
Collection or meet much preferred over postage
asking £750 (firm) reduced from £800 on the forum

    @Nightswan - Thank you on both counts. I have treasured this guitar for 18years. I’m genuinely wondering if it actually plays better than the new Gibson… mmm….

    If it does then it's a bit of a poser as to whether you should sell. They def don't pop up all that often in the UK.

    @Jabba74 its a nice slim neck - not wizard profile but circa 19.5mm at the first fret. It’s a supremely comfortable to play and has a gentle C profile. It’s got great higher fret access. You are welcome to try it out if you are local  :)

    Reduced in price - definitely a keeper if it doesn’t go at £750.

    True mate! With all due respect this is not really a Superstrat/Metal guitar type group. There are sporadic pockets of sanity....guys like @Gizmo ; @Offset ; @skullfunkerry ; @carlos etc might dig this

    I'd like to think I'm sane. :/   I like the look of metal guitars, I like the music.  But whether it's an RG, or an extra-pointy V, or a BC Rich Ironbird, I just don't look right for them.  And I don't like Floyds, I don't like skinny necks.  Sorry guys.

    Cool guitar, but I'm a short guy and I'd look (even more) like an idiot with that!

    @Philly_Q ;  It was a joke man. For real. Nothing directed at any of you that don't like superstrats. Sheesh!! My Apologies!

    I do indeed like that a lot, but I'm not looking for any more guitars at the moment, sorry @James1981 . Have you tried sevenstring.org? I'm sure they'd bite your hand off over there...
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    I'm probably only member of this forum mentioned by name in Whiskey in the Jar
