Rescued one...

[smallequestrian]

And its a whopper. All the options baby, 5 strings, 2 humbuckers, Piezo. It was sitting at GC abused and beaten. No volume knob, broken pot, missing batteries, mysterious scratches in odd places. But if you knew how much it cost me, you would probably hunt me down for ripping off GC. Picked this up at the July 4th sale. Pays to be the first one in the door.

Thankfully the volume pot was broken in the full on position

with the money you saved, you should refinish it in some crazy color or pattern. possibly your avatar.

Its getting a refin, something different. Not sure when it will happen, but some time in the next year.

Very nice rescue! I wish I had the money to save a few local MMs in my current area. One of the dealers has an old used Blue Dawn Sterling that I had been eyeing for a long time. It is, actually, the MM that got me interested in MM instruments. Hopefully the settlement money will come soon because I'll be sure to snag that thing.

I know you'll give it a good home, great snag!

That makes me curious as to what you got it for......

 

[Strangeglow]

You really don't want to know. It depressed me.

 

[bovinehost]

Let's just say 'well below dealer cost' and leave it at that.

It made me sad, too.

 

[silverburst]

I would have bought it for the price he paid. Probably would have paid a bit more, even.
