Any condition of finish will do as long as she's got her original pickups, bigsby, and master volume. Shoot me a line

thanks darryl,
ive admired that same guitar before. However, i cant justify tacking an extra $1000 for gold hardware. My budget lives in a different neighborhood. A real beauty though!

This one isn't in the best shape, but has come up 2x on chicago craigslist.

i am in fact a Dead Boys fan, mellow

I saw that posting on Craigslist. Wrote the fella 3 times but he never wrote back. Same with the post from austin. Theres one in san francisco that is way overpriced for a modified guitar as well. Crossin my fingers though!

Rob,

Jump on it. The condition is good enough, the melita is worth $300-$400, and the case is original.

Darryl, didn't mean to seem critical. It is in great condition and the melita looks fantastic. However, the impression i came under from reading and researching on this forum is not to pay top dollar unless it's all original. Even then, a bigsby is something i need specifically, so a 300 dollar melita would do me as much good as a slab of top grade filet mignon to a vegetarian

Great band! They triggered my punk phase some years ago.

Sonic, are you talking about this post from Austin Craigslist for a '67 SF V?

http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/1401823996.html

I know that Seller and I know that Guitar. I don't know if he still wants to sell it, but I do know that he's not a paypal kind of guy.
However, if you want me to ask him a question for you, I'll drop him a line, etc. PM me.

Oh, and Hello, mellow'. Everything okay up there in the great state of NY?

Regards, Harry aka gilded

Oh, I'm not interested in this one. Next on my radar is actually an 8-string. :twisted:

 

[sonicreducer]

oops darryl, i misunderstood. I thought you were defending the price on behalf of your friend Rob.

Im not much of a paypal guy either. Im a check in the mail guy with good faith in my fellow man, but i can understand when folks are wary. Id fly to austin for it. I love that town. Im overdue to walk earth that Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle and Roky Erickson's boots have walked.

 

[sonicreducer]

thanks rob, i got in touch with the chicago posting. A friend of mine will go and make the transaction then ship it for me. My only concern is she doesnt know much about guitars. Im nervous buying a guitar ive never played

 

[sonicreducer]

Well, that fell through. Someone beat me to it. I'm back on the market for an SFV or IV with a Bigsby.
