Members zerkalo Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just got this guitar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330219455826&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 Only 82 bucks (I got the shipping price reduced). I was afraid that this thing would be too worn out; I've never purchased an axe older than 8 years. But, to my surprise, this thing is in very good condition. The neck is almost mint, the frets have almost no wear on them. The neck has a patina on it that's very much like the one on Peavey Predators. The only issue is the electronics. I think the pots are starting to go as the guitar goes mute every once in a while, but the pups may just stay; they sound good, even if they are ceramics. By the way, Frets99 has that pretty pink one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattZ31 Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've got one, but with a Jackson style headstock. Maybe I'll go pick it up from my sister's house and hotrod it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members harold heckuba Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had a Sledgehammer, piece of crap with a plywood body. But it did have a decent neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Congratulations!! Yes I do have a pink one and it's a great feeling guitar!! I put in a cheap non GFS pup PG from GFS which was still excellent. Great strat tones! BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zerkalo Posted April 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 Why piece of crap? Mine feels pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lowbrow Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 Mine has the pointy headstock and is from `88. It also had onboard pre-amp/boost electronics, but they don't seem to work anymore. Still plays and makes guitar sounds though. Mine was intermittent as well, but it was the 5-way switch. Really bad switch, replaced that with one from my junk box and all is well. Very nice neck, but a bit chunkier than is my norm. I'm debating wether to keep it and stick four GFS mod boards in the pre-amp compartment (it's got a battery box for two 9 volts) or ditch it for a small profit.
