FOR SALE OR TRADE

Please understand that Ernie Ball is the only guitar manufacturer to provide a “For Sale Or Trade” service. This service is also free of charge. It is expected that the rules are strictly adhered to by all posters who use this privilege.

The rules, set out below, have evolved over time at the collective request of fellow Forum members in an attempt to overcome issues that have arisen from time to time.

*Sellers, Buyers and Traders are to take full responsibility for their transactions. EB will not accept liability.
*Disputes will not be mediated nor resolved by EB or Moderators.

POSTING RULES:

1) Before posting an advert you will need a posting history of at least 25 previous posts throughout the Forum over a period of at least one month. Most importantly, you must be a contributing member of good standing in the forum community. In borderline cases, Moderators will review your posting history and will remove your advert if they deem necessary. 'Serial posting' in an attempt to obtain 25 posts in a short time period of time is not allowed.

2) Only EB/MM items may be advertised.

3) No advertising for a friend.

4) In the case of a sale, state the selling price.

5) Asking for payment by PayPal gift option is not allowed.

6) Do not link your post to an on-line auction (e.g. Ebay) or to any other media where you may have placed your advert.

7) No comments please. If you need to compliment, ask/answer questions, or negotiate then do so by private message.

8) Posts will expire after a month but you are at liberty to re-post your advert after that time if you wish.

9) Please delete posts when transactions have been finalized.

10) Please limit the number and size of photographs in your posts. Maximum of 5 photos per post (less is OK too). You can privately share more photos with interested buyers when they contact you.

Note: Failure to observe any of the above rules will result in automatic deletion of your posts and, in some cases, the possibility of being either temporarily or permanently banned.

Many thanks!

Ernie Ball Silo 1993 with Floyd Rose with original pickups and OHSC. Amazing condition for the 29 year old guitar. frets are in great shape and the guitar is in overall great shape. Looking to sell for 1300 euro or partially trade for a Sabre or Cutlass (I'll pay the difference)

*****SOLD******

Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass RS - Piezo - Hunter Hayes - Limited Edition - Artist Series
Asking £2000

I'm in the UK so this is probably one for UK and Eurpope members due to exchange rate. I will ship to the US if somebody wanted me to. Shipping in the UK is Free

Guitar Weight - 3.21 KG (7.07 LB)

Selling to fund another guitar purchase.

This guitar (Serial No. S03167) was purchased for me at Chicago Music Exchange by a friend who lives in the US, and then shipped to the UK. At the time the model wasn’t available here in the UK, and I’m not sure how many did ultimately make it over here. It appears this model may now have been discontinued as it is no longer listed on the Music Man website. This is one of the first batch of Hunter Hayes Cutlass guitars that were released in 2019.

Original Artist Series Music Man hardcase is included (see pictures)

Guitar is currently strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky's 010 - 046
CONDITION
Guitar is used but is in exceptionally good condition.

There is a small imperfection in the paint on the bottom edge of the body – 3mm. This paint blemish was there when I bought it. Again, when you run you hand over it you can’t feel anything. It’s like a little spot of mist in the lacquer. (see picture in the full album via the link I have highlighted the mark with a red circle)

On the back of the behind the 1st fret there is what appears to be a 3mm fine scratch and a 3mm fine mark. However, I can’t feel anything when I hold the guitar and move my hand around or rub my thumb against it. (see picture in the full album via the link where I have highlighted the marks with red circles)

There are no neck pocket cracks.

Been a long time - life has had some interesting turns along the way which leads to this post

I've got a 20th Anniversary Silhouette I'm looking to move to a new home. I’m asking $2000 free shipping in cont US. This is a hardtail with matching headstock. I bought this from Keith many many moons ago and - she's not gotten in any love in the last 4-5+ years. Used it live a couple of times with a few American Idol Artists shows i did - (Danny Gokey and Phil Stacey) but hasn't seen much playing time while in my possession. I'll post pictures when i get home... or DM me and we can talk private. See pics below

Includes strap and ErnieBall super locks

Greetings all,

I'm pondering selling my Luke III Fuchsia and Sabre Pacific Blue Sparkle. These were both quarantine buys -- never gigged, basically mint/like new. I'm the only owner of both. Figured I'd ask here before going to TGP or Reverb.

Luke - $SOLD (Paypal) shipped to continental US
Sabre - $2900 (Paypal) shipped to continental US

More pics available, of course! I have 100% positive feedback on Reverb (Jeremy's Guitar Addiction Outlet Feedback -- Ebay as well, though I haven't sold their in awhile and also TGP)

Message me if interested!

My customized JP13 6-string in Cardinal Red Sparkle is still for sale. It has chrome DiMarzio Dominions. Original pickups are not available. Comes in the BFR case with all the stickers/instructions etc. still sealed up and it will be packed exceptionally well. It's basically Mint condition and still has the stickers on the backplates. Only reason for selling is I never play it, which is honestly pretty sad on my part. More photos upon request.

Potential trade options: JP7 in Mystic Dream (preferably a newer one with SS frets), Glacial Frost Majesty 7, Monarchy Purple 7, Eminence Purple JP15-7 or potentially any random special edition JPs/Majesties.

$2,150 USD net to me after shipping.

Hi guys,

I hope you are well. Just testing the water here to see if anyone in the UK is looking for a JP6 20th anniversary model? I bought this from Merchant City Music at the end of last year so its about 8 month old. Production year is July 2021. The JP6 is in mint condition and has hardly been played. I have the original case and the COA etc.

I'm just not getting on with it unfortunately, its a little too heavy for me and the neck radius it a little too thin for me.

I am looking for a JP15 and would happily do a trade but it would have to be one of the newer finishes like the purple nebula or the Tiger Eye. Let me know what you have though I'm always happy to take a look.

I am open to offers too but please guys no silly ones! You know what this guitar is worth.

Sorry for the lack of pics but the site won't let me upload a lot of them as it's saying they are too big. If you need anymore photos please let me know and I'll send them through to you.

Collection can be made from my home address in Hornchurch Essex or my work address in Hainault. I'd rather not get involved with any couriers as I don't trust them. If you want to sort that out yourself then fair enough. I'm happy to package it all up for you.

Any questions please let me know!

Thanks for looking.

Selling my Tahitian Blue Steve Morse. I looked long and hard for this one. It's unusual in that it is extremely light and resonant. 6.8 lbs. This guitar sounds and feels amazing. It's in excellent+ condition. Other than the usual pick guard surface scratching, there is a small pinpoint ding (looks worse than it is in the blown up picture). The pickup springs (tubing actually) was changed to accommodate lowering the pickups more than the stock instrument. I also took the opportunity to replace the cheapo capacitor with a paper in oil capacitor.

Comes with original HSC, COA, an extra back plate (the signed one is in the case), case keys, adjustment wrenches.

$2000 net to me plus shipping of your choise to conUS. Zelle or Paypal F&F preferred. I have tons of references on reverb, eBay, plus audio sites. I pack guitars at a professional level, having worked for guitar companies.

Kids, I don't know if the rules have changed, but since I originally bought this on this thread I figured I'd post here too. Knuckleheads can contact me directly for a discount.
