Ok it's not the worst faded one, but anyway: This guitar was 2 years old when the picture was taken. It's a thin skin LPB Jag

I've never been on jagstang, but do hang around another site. The Mustang collection is still there and this is the Prison Mustang. With as many guitars as I have, I ended up selling it to someone that plays it way more than I ever did.
