The Blackstar's here!
It's not nearly as bad as the photos on ebay, the crack seems to be along the neck/wing joint but it's finish only, not structural. There are a couple of places along the bottom of the neck where the paint is worn through and that's about the extent of the damage. I figure that a little polishing compound will bring it back to life. Kendall is indeed happy!

Yeah I know, I spent a couple of hours taking it all apart and polishing the paint and cleaning. The only glitch I didn't see before and the seller didn't mention is that it has an extra strap hole, but I restung it and adjusted the bridge, plays great. There's something to be said about the pickups they were using during this time frame, they sound very full and warm. I emailed Kenny about the serial number, it's a A3, so it's got to be toward the end of the run.
Meanwhile check out the new 355JL http://deltamultimedia.net/355/
