They had a used one at GC a while back. It was a toploader with a very thin body and a pale white neck. Very cheap tuners. But it did play well. However, an SX would be miles better. Well, the one I am looking at is a semi hollow tele style with a bigsby style trem, perfect for a project I am currently in and it is hard to find those specs on something affordable, don't think SX fits the bill unfortunately.

I bought one last year, one of the double necks on ebay (you know, the ones they claim are "rare" but are always for sale). I sold it a few months ago since I didn't like that the width at the nut of both necks was the same - made the 12-string side too hard to finger but other than that it played fine. Sounded OK. As far as looks, it looked something that someone made in their garage - less than "professional". The necks had no finish I could detect, not even a light satin. And they weren't fine-sanded, feeling rough. I spent 10 minutes with some 1200 and 2000 sand paper and smoothed them to a nice feel. Ok. I don't really mind putting a little effort into one for personal preference, change of pick ups etc.

they look very cool. Price is good. Go ahead and try one out and report back...:poke: Yeah, I have one in mind, was just looking for a little feedback to sway my decision one way or the other.

They seem to be fairly inexpensive, perhaps on the level of Douglas or perhaps a better SX. Anyone have/play one? Any comments regarding overall quality?

Damn, I always wanted your Kelly.

Hmmmmm...don't see the prob either. pretty much looks like Dave always has.

I could use a Boss bass overdrive pedal or something similar for reasonably cheap if anyone has one gathering dust. Thanks!

I could be wrong but I think Lynch Mob might be touring with Dokken and thats why George was up there.

I saw a photo of Malcolm with old Mesa Boogie 4x12 stacks with the wire front grills sitting behind him. Did AC/DC in fact use Mesa amps at one time during the early 80's and for how long? It must not have been for very long. I think the Donington 1991 dvd has a bunch of Mesas in it, for sure cabs, not sure about amps. I have also seen them use Wizard amps too. Maybe they were using the Wizard heads and Mesa cabs. ***edit*** Marshall cabs are in the Donington 91 show as well as the Mesas.

I saw a video of AC/DC on You Tube from a mid 70's Australian T.V. show and Angus and Malcolm were both using Orange OR-120 "pics only" amps and 4 Orange 4x12 cabs each. It blew my mind because I thought they always used Marshalls. When I went to look for it later, the video had been removed. Yeah, I thought that was wierd too but have heard that all those Orange amps were supplied by the show....like all the artists that appeared would use them.

I got charged a $1 tax today. Is that normal????

My Model 88 is #148 - there used to be a website where someone was keeping track of these, but I think it's dead now Cool!

Ah, another Model 88 man. Here's mine: Love the wood they used on these. Mine was a serious road warrior before I got it - the filled in black spot on the upper bout was a chip caused by a bullet! (The chainsaw case has the matching bullet hole) Cool! You don't see many of these. Mine is #300 of 1000. What is yours? I love the finish color on these. I got it in a trade for a crappy Peavey 4x12 cab.
