Anybody interested in a 'burst Sil Special, with upgraded pickups (nickle Dimarzio Virtual PAF bridge, Virtual '54 neck and mid)? I need to get a matching white cover for the neck pup...Silent Circuit is disconnected, but I'd include it and all three original pups in case somebody wanted to ever return it to stock. (stock pots and switch are still in the guitar...)

Very clean, very little to no fret wear. A tiny ding here or there, but nothing to write home about. With the original G&G tolex case. Sounds and plays GREAT, but I find myself jonesing for a Fender Strat strat...

So, considering it's got ~$180 worth of pickup upgrades, does $700 shipped sound fair? Anybody interested at that price?

Here's a couple of pics, one before the pickup upgrade and one after...sorry, hidden behind the EVH...

If it was in this country at that price I'd have it. Import, shipping etc will put it out of my reach :(

Whats that black box on the floor in the first pic ?

Thanks for the input anyway! :)

The big black box is an Echoplex tape echo...

They sound EXCELLENT! (IMO :D )

I think the stock pickups are good, but I think these are a big improvement. Here's a clip:

Position 1 on the 5-way is the full PAF bucker. Position 2 is one coil of the PAF by itself, for single coil bridge tones (Jimi!)...the other 3 positions are the usual mid, neck/mid, neck...

Thanks! So, what do you think - fair price? Too much? What could I do to sell it better?
