Members Railfanespee Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 Mid 60s Vox Student amp (USA made, tube) My uncle paid $6.00 for it at an auction in West Virginia and gave it to me for free. Yes, six bucks for a vintage Vox My other score of the year was my late 80s Yamaha RGX120D. Picked it up from a pawnshop for $35. Just a low end Yammie, but it plays pretty nicely. I swapped the microphonic bridge pup for a DiMarzio Fred I had been given, and now it actually is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 Oh yeah... Vintage Clubber's Texas Special guitar reminded me that I bought an Ibanez GAX70 or GAX75 for $50 with a super nice gig bag. It was hideous when I got it, but I refinished it with Tru Oil. It also came with Dimarzio Bluesbuckers which are supposed to sound P-90-ish and sound kinda stratty when split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strat87 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 My best is my brand new Orange Rockerverb 100 head, $1700.00 shipped!!! They go for $2,200 + tax, which would have brought me close to $2,400. So I basically saved $700.00. Thank You ebay The red strat pictured was also a decent buy, $350.00 shipped w/ nice Fender hardcase. Its an '87 MIJ that has taken over as my #1.

Members lowbrow Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'd have to think about it for a while...I had a lot of gear come and go this year. My most recent good deals have been... Last saturday I found a somewhat dinged up black 1985 Peavey Patriot for $75. Plays and sounds great, but the body is a bit abused. All original and the Super Ferrite pickups are there and sound great. Last friday night I sold my Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue (in tweed) with foot pedal and amp cover. It was a 2006 and in near mint condition. I got $450 for it. I paid $213.98 the weekend before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
