had it for years only just gave it back to him recently. Pat is the man for this type of thing - he's made some ridiculous scores in Mexico through trusting his instinct.Įncore 3/4 strat - Borrowed from school, gave back when I got.ĩ2 MIK Squier Stratocaster - Borrowed from my uncle, learned to play on it. Each played the Jazzmaster and each used a single four letter expletive to describe either the situation, or me in particular. I've since spoken to three guys who were looking at the guitar but who were put off by the rubbish photos and how 'wrong' it looked with the big headstock and spaghetti logo. I pointed out the typical sale price for refinished/non-original decal/tuners Jazzmasters and we worked out a pretty good price. Turned out that it was not a '69 jazzmaster (as advertised), but actually a '66. but was probably a proper repair shop/authorised decal) and the photos were pretty terrible, which made it look even shadier.īut the pickguard looked right. The entire guitar had been refinished (decal replaced with an early 60s spaghetti logo that looked wrong. It had been posted online on the Irish version of craigslist for a pretty high price.

Or you can essentially have free rental of stuff. Sell for more and use the profit for a DMM found on craiglist = free memory man. Fun to practice setting it up and to play one, even if you don't bond with it. (Example: MIM 72 tele deluxe, missing strings, for sale for $200 out in Shoreline or somewhere. I was even more impulsive with effects, but that's a different relationship.īasically: scan craigslist. Which, not surprisingly, leads to a large number of guitars passing through. Treating guitars like commodities is probably not the healthiest way of approaching a tool with which the player ideally connects on some level. So, most of the guitars were: quick inspection, quick play, does it work? Cash and out the door. That generally meant that there is only the one guitar there, take it or leave it. Speaking for myself, I've bought almost all my guitars through the classifieds / craigslist / etc.
