Hi,
I'm selling this Rutter's Angled Selector Switch Control Plate. It's been reliced and comes with two slotted mounting screws. It makes switching between pickups a breeze but I just can't get used to the look.
$26 Shipped/PP Gift SOLD
Selling a set of Gotoh vintage style locking tuners. They're reliced and work great. I just don't find a use of them for me. I don't play hardcore nor have a tremolo bar. They make string changing a breeze and are extremely stable with bends. Best of all is that they fit into a vintage style tele neck with no issues and doesn't affect the look at all. Comes with bushings and screws.
$45 Shipped/PP Gift SOLD
Thanks

Sell for $110. Trade for Tremolo or Nocturne Brain (+/- $ depending on deal)
Alvarez ASG4 Telecaster Clone of Mid-90s Tele 3 Pickup Deluxe
Next up on the block is one of the first guitar I ever bought when I got back into playing and chatting about guitars. It was around the millenium and a little while before I found this place. It's a late 90's Alvarez Alvarez ASG4 Telecaster in a beautiful gold finish. They were making some great guitars there at that point in time. It has a pretty fat 1-piece maple neck, medium jumbo frets, solid alder body with some very nifty heel and body contouring. The body has a belly-cut, a forearm-carve, and so on. So it is a single-cut Tele body with Strat contouring. The pickup routs are vintage style; no swimming-pool route cheapness here.
Now, I replaced the 5-way cheap switch with a Fender part, the capacitor in the tone circuit was replaced with a PIO (Paper In Oil), and the bridge pick was upgraded with a GFS Fat Boy 7K. The Fat Boy has the larger rod Alnico V magnets to give it mids more suitable foe Rock. The middel and neck pickups are the factory units which have Anico V rod magnets and have nickel covers like Vintage Telecasters. The 2nd and 4th positions are humbucking as on modern Strats as to reduce hum. The chrome is in good shape and the tumers are a nice vintage-style.
This guitar is in excellent shape, especially when you consider its age. It is at least 13 years old and could be 15. The frets are in good shape although a little polish would not hurt. There is a small chip in the paint just below the bridge; it is just about the size of a penceil eraser. Lastly on the cosmetics there is a cigarette burn on the headstock near one of the tuners-I think Keith Richards would approve.
I hate to see this guitar go' but I am being forced to go to short-scale guitars because of carpal-tunnel and arthritis. It will come with a gigbag and has been setup and restrung too. This can make you look almost as good as Keith Urban, but maybe not play as well
Only $245 dollars insured and shipped to the lower 48 states with a gig bag.

1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom. This is a Norlin era Gibson and has a three piece maple neck, and a solid mahogany body (no pancakes in '81). It weighs 10 lbs 1 oz on my digital postal scale, which is pretty light for a custom of this era.
Guitar has been played a lot over the years and has the wear and tear to prove it. It's got dings, scrapes, scratches, chipping, and buckle rash. However, its never been broken or repaired or had any significant damage, its all just cosmetic wear. The maple necks on these are as sturdy as it gets, and they stay straight.
In 2005 it was refretted by Michael Tuttle at www.bestfrets.com and he does phenomenal work. The frets are 6150 stainless steel. They are extremely smooth and slick to play on and they'll never wear out. They still look like the day they were installed. He also added a bone nut. The ebony on the board also looks new with virtually no wear. I'm the third owner of this, so to my knowledge the hardware is original. The electronics were upgraded to CTS 500k pots and NOS Russian paper in oil caps. The original Shaw pickups were long gone when I bought the guitar, and it is currently loaded with Duncan pickups (JB bridge and Pearly Gates neck).
The neck profile is thin, but a little more rounded and not as flat as the current 60's slim taper necks. But it's definitely closer to a thin 60's than a fat 50's. The finish has worn off much of the back of the neck and feels like smooth wood and not sticky nitro. With the thinner profile, stainless frets, and three-piece maple neck, this thing plays straight, low, and fast. To me, these customs with all the maple tend to sound a little tighter with a focused punch to them. If you're a rocker, you'll like this one.
Pics were taken indoors on a rainy day using flash, so some of the pics look a little darker amber than in natural light. The picture of the guitar sitting in the case is the closest to what it actually looks like. It's a natural that has aged slightly, but not dark amber.
Case is the original plastic chainsaw protector case. Its missing a latch or two and has two remaining that work on the side. The case does stay shut and protects the guitar well.
$2200 shipped (lower 48) or $2000 cash local
