Members NOS68 Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Here's the deal, I have a brand-new New York Pro Strat here that just won't sell. The market for no-name guitars seems to have taken a {censored}. So instead of selling it below cost on ebay I figure some-one here knows a deserving soul who could use a NGD. I also have the pedal mod from Gilgators I won in Roosters raffle that needs a good home. So lets here who deserves these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members and Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 NGD would be nice, but I'd have a hard time justifying the "deserving soul" part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drawdeep Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't need the guitar, but I would be interested in the pedal mod if no one else has a desperate need for one- I have a TS-7 that I would love to see what could be unleashed by some modding...

Members docjeffrey Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 I gave a guitar and an amp (Hamer/Kustom) to a kid who was in a residential drug treatment center. I found out that he was looking for a guitar from one of the counselors. I also gave a Korg Pandora to a person on this board who was having a tough time and had to sell his amp. Just look around at some of the threads and pick someone who your gut says could use it. You'll find someone deserving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les Paul Lover Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 You don't know anybody who has a kid who'd like to take up playing? Friends or family? Anyway - nice plan, hope you unearth the next Hendrix!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Nice gesture. You might be more certain of hitting the bull's eye as far as helping someone who really can't afford it if you look in your own community like doc did. good luck!

Members Dead Star Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've been in the market for something like that for AGES!!!!! Money has been so slow though (amp and stuff on layaway, but I'm barley making payments). While I know I probably wont get it (it's more of a want thing), I just thought I'd put my name out there, ya know... just in case. Like the Smiths said...

Members 's mel gibson Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 My plan was to go to Cuba with a $50 acoustic guitar and after jamming around and playing for my supper, leave it behind. An electric guitar is a bit more of a hassle. But,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex W Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well, I hate to make a shameless plug for myself. I'm down to one guitar and amp and I'm jobless. If you can't find any one single person other than me who would take it, I would take it. I would rather see it go to someone who is just starting out on the instrument or someone who is in worse shape than I am guitarwise because I have a decent guitar.

Members vintage clubber Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Those New York Pros are very decent guitars for the price point. My daughter's "Girly Monster" was a New York Pro in it's first life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"please,please,please, let me, let me, let me... let me... get what I want, this time..." (or the local boys and girls club!) Judging from the gear in your sig there is no way you need it! Anyways back to OP, It's a very nice gesture you are offering (I deffo do not need it before anyone thinks I am trying to blag it) and I think you should either pick a thread of HC of someone who is clearly having a hard time ie guitar-less or find some youngster who can't afford his first guitar to rock out on Edit: Just saw someone suggest sending it to the soldier in Iraq, fantastic idea!
