Hi guys,
I've been reading the forum for a while, but only now writing myself. I have the beauty below, which was my first good guitar after having started on a Squier. Lately, I've been trying to find out more about her.
I bought it from a guy in 2009 ish. He had replaced some of the hardware (the bridge and the tuners - Grovers). Some four years ago, I replaced the pickups with DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary, and I get a really nice tone out of it.
By the serial number, I think she's from early 2006 (serial number 061xxxx). And according to the registry (she's there), she should be an LC85S, which matches what the previous owner had told me. But how do I know for sure? Any ideas? I've already checked the pickup cavities, but they were mostly painted for shielding. Only thing I could confirm is that it does seem to have a maple top (judging from my poor knowledge of wood shades ).
What do you guys reckon her value would be? I'm always going back and forth about thinking to let her go as I don't play all that often and have too many guitars. Feel a bit bad having her in her case under a desk most of the time... on the other side, I'm attached to her, if that makes any sense.
Cheers guys!
Tiago
