So I just bought this 1987 Gibson Les Paul Custom lite in Ferrari Red - This thing is fantastic. It weighs about 8 pounds - has a contour back - it came wired with 2 volume, 1 tone and a selector switch that coil tapped the pickups. I replaced that with a push pull tone pot, mainly for...

I got a pretty good one from Axesrus! All the screw holes lines up nicely.

Hi all - I've been toying with the idea of trading up (or down, dependant on your opinion) my 1984 Mij Tokai st55 - Flamingo Orange (fiesta red) with nice perloid Splate (original included) - 'upgraded' wilkenson bridge saddles (+ original rusty mojo oozing saddles) and a nice vintage case...

name your price mate ... I've got gas for a 7okai mapel neck and sunburst body, silver or goldstar - if you can accomodate :D drop me a pm and we can discuss...

buy it - and be happy that you now own a ?700+ japanese made guitar with nice humbucker upgrades and a hardcase for the cost of a standard indonisian epiphone with a gigbag. Its been on the Gtree for a few months so you might get him down to 400/390. I have been tempted by this one. :-?

So I've always had the horn for matching body/headstocks - especially on strat guitars with rosewood finger boards. I've recently bought a cheap Charvel off ebay as a project guitar, allthough its a vintage cx 291 - its never going to appreciate in value by mega bucks due to the massive...

Just Ebay'd myself a Charvel CX 291 upgraded to Seymore Duncan SH11 Custom Custom in the bridge and SSL 3's in the Neck and Center positions for a steal of a price. Its arriving tomorrow. First time I've bought a guitar blind. It's got the strat head - which means it was exclusive to Japan...

I bought my st55 about 4 months ago for ?300. The saddles needed replaced and I've since found out it needs a refret... ( +?100) I think I've got a pretty good deal and I'm quite happy with what I got for that price. After the refret the thing will play itself - good luck with the sell!

Probably the type of wish list that will get me thrown off forum - but I've toyed with the idea of selling my 3 japanese vintage guitars and buying a highend Charvel san dimas... I'd have to wait untill they stop manufacturing in those awful colours though... [/img]
