{"product_id":"05-2800005797466","title":"[SN 25110060] USED MTD \/ Kingston AG5 Andrew Gouch  Signature [05]","description":"A used Andrew Gouch signature model in excellent condition has just arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a collaboration model between Andrew Gouch and the high-end brand MTD (Michael Tobias Design), launched in 2010. This instrument is a truly exceptional piece, based on that collaboration and built on the Kingston—MTD’s flagship model known for its outstanding value.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt features an alder body with a maple top, a maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber for increased rigidity, and a purpleheart fingerboard. Purpleheart is a hard wood characterized by its vivid purple color, known for its crisp tone and quick response. The combination with the custom “Smoky Purple Satin” finish is simply stunning.\u003cbr\u003e \nFor the electronics, it’s equipped with a Bartolini proprietary soapbar pickup and a custom preamp—just like the USA-made models. The high-quality sound, which is clear yet bold and full of raw power, truly embodies the spirit of the high-end brand MTD.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis instrument was manufactured in 2025. While the parts show slight signs of aging, it’s safe to say there are virtually no signs of wear overall. The truss rod shows no signs of having been adjusted, and the neck is in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nConsidering that a U.S.-made model costs nearly 200,000 yen, it’s clear that this offers exceptional value for the price. We highly recommend you consider this guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: MTD25110060\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2025\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: China\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Soft case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.87 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: No issues\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
