Not to derail you Chris, but there is the new Metheny model with the CC pickup coming this summer if your search continues that long....
Vince Magol, a lawyer, guitarist, and once-co-owner of Heritage talked about breakage. He said 2-3%. That includes all damage. Nothing will protect against an amuk forklift impaling a box. Here...
The Korean made Excels are not identical to an original Excel at all.The originals were hand carved, solid wood archtops and the Korean made examples are pressed plywood guitars. I own an original...

I played the 2012 es-175 yesterday afternoon, made an offer, and it was quickly accepted. I think this was a guitar that was bought and cased for most of its life. The frets show almost zero marks;...
