  1. HNGD!! I've been considering a Traditional myself, in the same color. Did you have to play a number of this model to find one you liked? I'm tempted to order one, but I hesitate, knowing how much Gibsons can vary from one guitar to the next. :thu: I think few people would argue that if you played 10 or 20 LP's, that all would be "the same". So ordering online is a bit of a gamble. Sometimes the differences are subtle enough that unless you are comparing, you don't realize... one feels much better in your hand, or has a better top, or sounds different or "better" to you than the others. That being said, there have been many people who have ordered online, or bought one used online that have received them, and been very happy. What's your personality? The "pickier" you are, the more you need to go try a bunch! M
  2. The offers are coming in. All are for less than I asked for. CL and the fishy responses are a real turn off. At the moment, one offer for a discount price for 2 of my Am Std Strats might work. Things change. Hey... WE can make lowball offers just as easily as your neighbors! Post a list of your stuff on the SPAM list, and watch the trade offers, and nowhere near your list price offers come pourin' in! (excuse me if you've already done this!) M
  3. Store is not illegal. Offers are low. They are counting on many uninformed, or lazy people who are willing to sell for much less than what it's worth. They can flip for a profit. They're regularly hitting CL all across the country. Again, nothing illegal, but not a smart selling decision. M
  4. I was in my local GC the other day. I see a guy walk in with a clean looking Vetta I amp. I know what it means when someone comes in with something like that... they're trying to get GC to buy it. I see him talking with the night manager, who has to go off and check on something... maybe look at e-bay auctions, whatever. They offer they guy a low price for it. As soon as he's free of the salespeople, I go up to him, introduce myself, and inquire about the amp. He tells me he doesn't want to sell for that, but needs some quick cash. I offer $50 more than the GC guy, and since he had not finalized the deal with GC, he says "sure", and meets me outside. I give him the cash, and we're both pretty happy. I did get the amp for less than what it would be "worth" if I wanted to take my time and sell it... he did get more than what he was offered by GC. I don't feel like I "stole" it from him, I be he doesn't either. I do feel like I was at the right place at the right time. M
  5. My brother is parting with his 1963 Fender Jaguar. No, this is NOT a reissue... it's the real thing! He's asking $3,800 for it, but would entertain offers. No trades, he's looking for cash. This was owned by a family friend, and he got it about a decade ago. The guitar sat in a garage, unplayed for decades... a true closet classic. Lots more pics... PM me. M
  6. As you probably know, the quality of the recording isn't all that great... but it was an ok song... I thought it was interesting that the female vocalist was shoegazing when she wasn't singing... I can't recall seeing a shoegazer vocalist before. Couldn't really make out any of the vocals, probably due to the poor recording. The crowd seemed to be moving and plenty of folks were there... Got any actual recordings you can post? M
  7. +1 for The Riffer Smooth trade transaction. All as promised. Excellent packing and shipping care. M
  8. I've had both American made and MIM strats and teles and have found that both can be fun to play and sound good! My #1 however has no MIM counterpart... so if I wanted this guitar... I had to get the American version. I liked it the best, it played and sounded the best to me... so that's what I got! Simple. M
  9. Here's a 2000 / 2001 Nashville Tele. New Lower Price... It's in excellent condition without any dings or dents. I've never played this out, and it's lived in its case for most of its life. All the Nashville Tele features: * Two "tex-mex" neck and bridge tele pups and a "tex-mex" strat pickup in the middle. * 5-way pickup switch * Artic white with rosewood fretboard on maple neck * Vintage bridge * Medium jumbo frets This is "like-new" condition, plays and sounds just as you would expect from a new one. MIM. No mods. Comes with Fender hard shell case. Price lowered to $549 obo + shipping. PM for more info or pics. M
  10. FYI- per the serial that is a '96. Beautiful guitar... Thanks, I verified on Fender's website and have changed my post... it turns out Fender only introduced it in 1997... so this must be from the first production year. Just goes to show you how long some inventory can hang around. I originally bought this new from my local GC on the same day I bought the Nashville Tele I'm advertising above. The tele's serial number puts it as a 2000 /2001 model, and I wrongly assumed, (without verifying) that they were both from the same year. Somehow GC must have had this JV strat in their inventory for quite some time before I bought it. M
  11. Here's a 1997 Jimmie Vaughn strat Deleted and Moved for lower price. M
  12. 2000 /2001 Nashville Tele Deleted and Moved for lower price
  13. Here's another try for my Guild Blues 90. Sold. M
