I could go a bundle on one of those in CAR with two p90s.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirkster57 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2005 i have scored sone great deals on e-bay and I have sold smore stuff for a lot more than I shuld have gotten. Seems like these days the deals on e-bay are few and far. There is a lot of junk on there. Originally posted by Edward So true!

Members Lefty Geek Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 That Geoff Gale Magnum looks like a '70s Carvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirkster57 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah... they kinda do in the bridge position but they are very hot. How about the woring. Have you noticed that all of the volume controls do something even when you are switched to a particular pickup. Weird... Glad you like it.Originally posted by LeftyLang Cool Magnum Custom!!kirkster....do your pups on your Firebird hum??

Members kingaaa Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 Leftylang, your mini-humbuckers are noisy? I have to say, the mini's on my Tokai Firebird are completley noisless, maybe it's only the bodies are made in the same factory? although, mine has the reverse head-stock so I'm kinda starting to doubt that.Also the pick-guard is different, and the inlays on the neck.Would the fact there is three pickups have anything to do with it?

Members jppedroso Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hi Lefties ! I live in Portugal, Europe and i'm thinking on buying a lefty guitar. At the moment i've a righty Epiphone SG. I've a 2 problems : 1st - I want a lefty Fender Jaguar, or JagStand. Do u know if there are some lefty's versions of this models ? 2nd - Because i live in Portugal i will only buy online from stores/dealers in Europe. Do u know some ?

Members jppedroso Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 thanks kingaaa ! I already knew this store, and i've already buyed some equipment from them. They sould have a section for lefthanded guitars. To find some lefthanded guitars we have to browse between hundreds guitars. I want a new lefty Fender Jaguar/Jagstand and i suppose that if it don't exists on Fender's site then that model doesn't exists. Am i correct ?

Members kingaaa Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 JPpedroso, try this link, it was posted a long time ago by another member here (arnoldziffe), so I dont know how fresh it is.The company delivers world-wide.Ishibashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jppedroso Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks again kingaaa !I've checked and yes they have a lefty Fender Jaguar ! Does anybody from Europe ever buyed guitars from Ishibashi ?Do u recommend ? What about taxes ?Best Regards,JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kingaaa Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 JP, you take a chance importing anything out-side the Euro-zone with taxes, you might be charged and you might not. I've never bought from Ishibashi, but a few here have and never had a problem.Even with taxes I dont think it would be too bad,is'nt the tax rate in Portugal is one of the lowest in the E.U/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jppedroso Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 Are u talking from Europe kingaaa ? At the moment our tax is 19% - like Spain. Best Regards, JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kingaaa Posted February 10, 2005 Members Share Posted February 10, 2005 Sorry JP ,I thought it was 16%, but at least it's better than what it is here in Ireland, 21% ! Talk to Arnolziffe or Kirkster, they've both bought from Ishibashi and as far as I'm aware, found it a pleasent experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members falconproject Posted February 12, 2005 Members Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'm a leftie that plays right because when I first started looking for a guitar the salesperson at the local shop told me I would never find a decent left handed guitar, and I believed him at the time. Plus, I was tired of searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeftyLang Posted February 12, 2005 Members Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hey Kirkster.. I think the Firebird is a great guitar, but just not for me. The neck is a nice fat neck & the quality of this guitar is great. I really am a strat & 335 player though. I will probably kick myself for selling it but I need to raise some cash for a Gibson Archtop I bought and a PA system for our band. I am also selling a Fender Tweed Pro Jr. amp as well.

Members kingaaa Posted February 13, 2005 Members Share Posted February 13, 2005 Kirkster where was your guitar made? I'm starting to think Eastern Europe or so, they seem to be a lot cheaper over here, Adriondack.com is charging $529 for that Utopia, the one on my link is around $200 and the only difference is the painted head-stock.
