AIRCRAFT/AC-6 Green (Unit 2 type)
owner:
Shin
2020.12.15: I happened to buy a BD of the tour footage of the introduction of this guitar and was about to watch it when I found it on the market and bought it.
I think it was still cheap for an AC-6 in recent years, but when I saw it in person, it was so hard to clean that I wondered if the fingerboard was a tight-fitting ebony because of the ridiculous level of grime on it.
There were no bad dings or dents except for a scratch on the pickguard and some fret wear, so I guess it was just bad storage.
There are no modifications or parts replaced, and I have the warranty card and hard case from the time.
The hard case is a special hollowed out type, but unlike the other pieces I have, it doesn't have a logo on it, so it doesn't seem to have been an early one.
Two of the insert blocks were broken, so I replaced them.
I don't know if it's because of the different number of frets or because it's an early one, but the body shape seems a bit more awkward than the 24-fret one.
I changed the wiring pattern of the front PU because it wasn't hum canceling with the mix when tapped.
2022.2.18: The partial fret loss was quite noticeable and the nut was a little high, so I had it rubbed together and the nut height adjusted at the workshop.

Please let me know if you ever decide to part with this guitar, as I love the look of it.
Please look for it because it is sometimes sold.
Do you mean that it has already sold, or that you still have it? Either way, if you have any that you would be interested in parting with in the future, please let me know, as I would be interested.
I still own it, but I think I will sell it in the future.
They only trade in Japan, so you might find them on Yahoo Auctions.
I see. Please let me know when you decide to sell it, or any other Aircraft guitars you have.
