  2. This is a long shot but I have two tickets to see Refused in Toronto at Sound Academy on 7/22 (Sunday). $70 for both paypal gifted or $35 each.
  3. Hi everyone! I'm looking to trade for the Gibson Les Paul Studio 60's Tribute with the P-90's. I'm really interested in the 60's edition because the 50's neck is probably too big for my small hands. I'd also consider one of the SG models with P-90's or a Gibson Les Paul Special or other higher end Gibson w/ P-90's. I'd also consider an Agile AL series with P-90's but really want a Gibson. Here are the items I would consider trading (most of this stuff is not for sale): Fender Highway One Tele Vintage Sunburst with non-original HSC (brand new guitar) Jet City JCA22H 20w/ Guitar Head Danelectro U2 - needs TLC Dean Dime Black Bolt VHT Special 6 6w Guitar Head Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10 with a blown speaker that needs to be replaced. Agile AL-3100 Honeyburst with Burstbucker Pro pickups and full setup with fret dressing Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 100w Pre500 (serial # in the 300's) with Hardcase - I will only trade this for a higher end Gibson, not a Studio model. I really have no interest in getting rid of this but if something awesome was to be offered, I'd consider it. Pics.. http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/drivelikejoewho/Guitar%20Stuff/
  4. Here is some random junk for sale/trade: Up top is the bridge humbucker from my Explorer Melody Maker $20 plus shipping The chain of p/u's to the right of that is the Middle and Neck p/u from my Early 90's MIM Strat and a SD Hot Rails Humbucker - $10 each plus shipping on the single coils and $35 plus shipping on the SD. Behringer Vintage Delay - SOLD Johnson Chromatic Pedal Tuner $15 plus shipping Starcaster Chorus Pedal SOLD Lace TN-100 Telecaster Neck Pickup - SOLD Pics of the back of my junk lol! I'll accept trade offers but I really am not in the market for anything in particular. I could probably use a nice set of chrome tuners (3x3) for my Explorer Melody Maker. This is random but I need a footswitch for a Fender Hot Rod Deville. I can't really think of anything else I need off hand. I would be interested in a Telecaster of some kind. I have a Danelectro U2 in this thread that I coudl possibly combine with some of this stuff for the right guitar.
  5. Yeah I give CL about a week then go the ebay route. In general, eBay is easier because you don't have to deal with flakes and idiots. I can't tell you how many times somebody said they were going to come look at something and I waste my time waiting. I always price stuff to sell too. I don't inflate the price to negotiate. I put it for cheaper than what it goes for on ebay so there is an incentive for a buyer to come pick it up.
  6. My strings shipped so we'll see what I end up with. My receipt and the picture in the amazon listing says "10-pack" so I hope I just scored a 10 sets of strings for $1.30 each (there was $1in tax). I kinda wish I would have bought two now but no need for greed!
  7. Uh, why is the picture showing 3 sets and not 10? Is it a typo, or are they using the wrong picture? Shows 10 for me on the product page but in the cart is shows 3. The descriptions says "10 sets" so I'll buy and role the dice. If they aren't the 10 pack, I'll send them back on their dime.
  8. I checked around, but they seem to have mixed reviews. Unless someone on the board can offer more input, I'm a little wary of buying them I went ahead and bought some of these today. I got them for $43 + $25 (living social deal of $25 for $50) so $68 when all is said and done. I figured it was worth taking a shot at that price. I can probably get close to my money back on ebay if they don't work out. BTW.. anyone who bought that Living Social deal, they take the coupon amount first before applying tax which is sweet. Wish I would have got the $50 for $100 code but I can't complain. Also, the GC in Cerritos, CA had a M13 for $329 and the guy said the 15% off this weekend applies to it. That would be $305 after tax.
  9. Sounds like the old GM way of doing things..."yeah, we'll lose thousands of dollars on every car we sell, but we'll make it up on volume!". No wonder they went bankrupt and we forced to bail out their sorry butts. I highly doubt HP is making another production run if they are in fact losing money. And George Bush signed TARP on his own volition. He wasn't forced to do anything but times would probably still be very bleak if he hadn't. It is amazing to me that people whine and complain about government assistance to individuals and nobody gives two hoots that companies were essentially rewarded for having shotty business practices. "Oh you lost all your money? Well here is some more, give it another shot"!
  10. Huh. If they are able to have another run of them built to sell at liquidation prices, that tells me that prices were overly inflated on the Touchpads when they were introduced. You don't make another run to blow them out at liquidation prices if you aren't going to make a profit on them. I don't know what you mean by inflated but I assume HP felt they were worth what they were originally charging. I assume they probably were in the same ballpark as other similar products. So why leave money on the table even if your cost is low? They are in the business of making money, not benevolence. BTW.. the whole idea of mass producing something is that more you make, the cheaper the product becomes. They were able to move huge volumes of them and generated residual interest in more of the same product so they are obviously willing to get a lower profit margin to move more volume if in fact they are going to produce more at a cheaper price.
  11. I checked around, but they seem to have mixed reviews. Unless someone on the board can offer more input, I'm a little wary of buying them I watched some videos on youtube. I liked what I heard but that doesn't always translate to your guitar. I have a MIM Strat I was gonna put them in.
  12. Guitar Center is selling them for $90 (In stores only) if your close to one Awesome! I might use my Living social coupon on those. is $90 a decent deal on those? EDIT: I'm not seeing them on their site for that price. I'm assuming I really have to go to or call the store to find them at that price? I thought maybe I'd see them on the "in-store clearance" online. EDIT 2: I called and my local shop has 2 in stock for $90. Anyone have any input on those?
  13. Don't shoot the messenger on this one. Just stumbled across this and seems like it is a decent deal.. Fender SCN Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Stratocaster Pickup Set - $99 (about $150 everywhere else) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/fender-scn-samarium-cobalt-noiseless-stratocaster-pickup-set/301651000002000?src=3WNTWXX&ZYXSEM=0 M123 has them for $150 so you can get a PM for $95 http://www.music123.com/Accessories/Fretted-Instrument-Accessories-Parts/Guitar-Pickups-Parts/Guitar-Pickups/Electric-Guitar-Pickups/Strat-Guitar-Pickups-Humbucking/SCN-Samarium-Cobalt-Noiseless-Stratocaster-Pickup-Set.site7prod301651.product
  14. Were people able to get the prices matched from other stores the last time? There's something I want, but the closest Sam Ash is 1.5 hrs away. -- N I think people were able to get the Charvel's matched @ M123 but I believe they are out of stock. Doesn't hurt to ask. Worst they can say is no. If anyone is interested I did see one of those Charvel's @ the Sam Ash in Cerritos, CA. Also, GC in Cerritos had some Dean Dime O Flame Guitars for $330. Goes for $600 on Amazon.
  15. And thus, a perfectly good thread devoted to great guitar finds was derailed... I think your sarcasm detector is broken. At least I hope so!
