Got a Slick SL57 Aged Vintage Sunburst Maple Fingerboard Alnico Pickups with camo hard case for $259+$59.
Slick is famous/notorious for guitar prices being less than cost of hardware parts. And automotive paint.
Delivery
– arrived naked in case
– not much case candy, just tremolo bar, screwdriver and invoice
– yup, that looks like automotive paint!
– quick shipment
– Made in China sticker on back of headstock.
Slick Hard Case
– camo looks good. See how it’s perceived in public later 
– hardware very bright gold-colored.
