What guitar are you buying? Inquiring minds want to know.

Your 610CE is one of those guitars that comes along once in while ... drop-dead gorgeous ... a big acoustic sound .... below FMV price tag ... it's hard to believe it is still here.

OK, you've got my attention. I've been reading about the 610CE all morning.
Questions:
1. What is the weight?
2. How is pickup attached to pickguard? I've read online several people prefer to upgrade the stock pickup, but I'd hate to damage things removing the current pup.
3. I'm a little unclear on the history. First post says 2015 & 1 owner, but later post says owned for 3 months. Also, pics are from MusicStreet, which is in UK. Are you in EU or US?
Thanks!

So I’ve been quietly trying to sell my 810CE7 fast enough to buy Zigracer’s 16” Elite 7, which has the same KA-designed floater that’s on my 810. My Elite is a deep honey burst with a set KA, and ZR’s 16 is identical in finish, appearance and features to my 17” 810. I’d love to have the pair of them, and the factory floater sounds mighty fine to me. But I’d only give up the 810 for an Elite with the same specs, pickup etc.

I had the same conversation with Kent a few years ago about the Asian-made pickups; he said they are hand-wound by a guy in Korea using the same designs and materials, plus Kent trained the guy on how to make the pickups. He thought they would be indistinguishable from the pickups he winds here in the States, in a blindfold comparison.

I love the Kent-built humbucker in my Eastman Elite and have been considering getting one for the Ibby as well and replacing the EMG in my 7 string Frankenpaul with the B7.

FWIW I had a B7 put in the AF207 I owned for a long time (and never should’ve…) and was never completely happy with it. Should’ve tried a KA. Have a KA floater (from him) on my archtop 7/string and there’s an import KA floater on the Loar 350 I use for teaching. I really like the sound of both. Equally.

So I'd like a smaller, lighter bag for low risk trips, better weather etc.
