  1.

Gloss poly finish -Neck is attached via machine-screws and threaded inserts I won't be shipping this guitar, so I'm looking for a local Southern California buyer, who will either come to me, or I can go to (perhaps within 150 miles of the Zip Code 92342). Please PM or email me at: dalenoir10@yahoo.com This guitar was built by me, under the supervision of a master-luthier, and was my final-project at Musician's Institute's luthery school (circa: 2004). It was not a pre-made parts-build, but rather the wood was carved from raw lumber, and hand constructed. Documentation of my attendance and completion of the school will be provided. ("New Economy", forces sale) The guitar is in very good condition (never gigged), but does have a few small dings (none expose the wood) on the body, and does have some light scratches. The neck has no dings. The frets have light wear. the hardware is complete, including the tremolo-bar and back-plate. Currently set-up to Fender action/relief specs, with .009" strings
  2. Do I remember correctly that there was some sort of cross-pollenation between Washburn and Barrington? EDIT: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/archive/index.php/index.php/t-1671649.html
  3. Is that one of those new PS/2 tremolo units that I've heard so much about?
  4. Here's your guy-guitar player who looks like a girl on the cover of a mag: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/206/499102054_3650da49a9.jpg?v=0 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dsERfy7Ib70/SC8gnxkJIxI/AAAAAAAAADQ/y1RH-25HcBQ/s320/Zakk%2BWylde%281987%29.jpg
  5. For all I know, this is 100% genuine, but anytime I see a fancy LP with bad photos and those static-cling pick-up overlays, I get real suspicious: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/msg/1561727982.html
  6. ... bring my girlfriends Can non... I'm sure large-bore firearms are unnecessary. Although I am impressed at your girlfriends taste in weaponry.
  7. Maybe my eyes are going, but in that one pic, it doesn't look like the pickup rings line up properly. I believe that is an artifact of a bad digital image. If you look at the fretboard inlays, they appear to "sliced" and out of alignment (perhaps it was an artistic choice by the photographer, who is a fan of Picasso). I'm far from an expert, but I could make no judgment based on those bad pics.
  8. Was watching me some PBS fundraising last night Darn "Taxxachucetts" liberals, watching your "funded by my stolen tax dollars" PBS! Turn to darn channel over to FOX--that Glen Beck plays a mean slide guitar, which he bought the old fashion way: buy selling commercial-time! Oh, uh, wrong forum--my bad.
  9. I really like than natural top/black with black binding look. I say clear-coat it like that (and keep the waist-cut black--looks cool). Don't be surprised if I steal this idea from you.
  10. I haven't heard it in a while, but doesn't "Sweet"'s Ballroom Blitz have a big pick-slide in the intro?
  11. See your in luck the great Larry Conklin knew his fans would want his gear...and has gone out of his way to please his legions of die hard adoring fans. You are good, you are very good.
