To paraphrase Freewheelin' Frank (Freak)... "Guitars will get you through times of No Money better than Money will get you through times of No Guitar!" When I get a Breadwinner, I want the Full Battle-Axe edition! | ||

I would have bid if I could. I have a back plate and some electronic spares. I paid nearly twice that for mine. AJ :rolleyes: | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 1374 | I know a few here that have those necks, and deluxe necks, nos shaved deluxe necks, pickups etc.... laying on ping pong tables and on shelves... so even a warped/twisted neck or hardware, would be any problem for a member here.. or the backplates or nuts... the big issue with these is always the pcb and preamp/pots... wasn't someone here trying to build a replacement and or workarounds for repairs here? Glenn btw hope it was one of us, and GREAT DEAL! | ||

Then again, maybe it's better not to know... I couldn't resist Arthur's limited last month which went for slightly more (OK, a little more than slightly - unless Bill Clinton is defining the term) - but worth every penny!! THANKS ARTHUR!! | ||

Joined: June 2007 Posts: 3084 Location: Brisbane Australia | It was on for a while, I saw it over a couple of days at least. I paid not a lot less than that for a busted ass BW project and no case. Well as long as someone here got I don't feel quite so bad. Good get!! AJ | ||

Joined: February 2004 Posts: 2487 | Good, your gonna love this one Jim. As for the Guitars, I would say there will be some good deals coming out of the USA for a while. Good time to buy the good ones if your an investment kinda guy. Good time to buy one if ya just want a good player as well. Especially you who do not live by the value of the US dollar! Enjoy.
