Members campfirehero Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm thinking of checking out a John Mayer strat on craigslist. I'm in the early stages, haven't talked to him on the phone yet though. With the pickups being big dippers which go for a lot on ebay, would you verify the pickups visually or could you tell for sure just by plugging it in? Would it be rude to ask to break the guitar down to be sure on any guitar you were considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mightysasquatch Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I would. If it's legit he shouldn't mind you checking. If it's not, his actions should tell you so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way to verify visually without removing the pickguard, and I would definitely check because a lot of people remove the dippers and sell them for big bucks on ebay.
