  1. I have an original in the box. It has never been on a pedal board. I got it off E-Bay back about ‘01 when they were $49.
  2. I’m glad you’re traveling and enjoying the world. iI retired 2 years ago, no my wife and I are doing 2-3 cruises year. I also have a 10 month old granddaughter that my wife and I try to spend as much time with as we can. We also have a grandson coming in March. So between the grand kids and cruises I try to work in my pawnshop rounds as much as I can. I hit the pawnshops way more while I was still working. I’m going to try to put in more time at the shops, and eventually I’ll hit pay dirt.
  3. Thanks Gary I hope you’re doing well. Haven’t seen you on the boards for a while. I hadn’t really been hitting the pawnshops since I retired.. I just recently started hitting the pawnshops again and I guess I was the right place at the right time for this one.
  4. Yeah, the factory height of the saddle on this guitars is too high . I’m taking it tomorrow to my guitar tech so he can lower it ,and it should play amazingly well after that.
  5. Yesterday I did my usual pawnshop rounds around the area stores. I ran into this beauty for a CRAZY low price. I never pay asking price, so I asked what discount for the guitar if I paid cash today. Even with the already low price, they still knocked off another $200. SOLD!!!! I’d been wanting a high end Martin for a very long time, but could never find one for the right price until today. This guitar sounds and plays awesome and sounds amazing plugged in . I really lucked out on this one, cause you always need a good recording acoustic for the studio. My 2015 Martin Centennial DC-28E
  6. I used to sing lead on that song in a country/rock cover band back in the mid to late 90’s. It was one of my favorite songs to sing in that band. I still miss singing a lot of those 90’s tunes. Good times !!
  7. Here’s my $60 ‘74 Fender Jazz pawnshop score beater.
  8. Hey Jon, my son Aaron send you a message at your work e-mail.

    He needs your full paypal address.

    Can you please call him on Monday and get the paypal address thing fixed.

    I REALLY want to get you paid.

    You can call Aaron on his cell at 361-765-1189 or leave a text with

    the proper paypal address.

    Thanks, Skip

  9. FYI: A box with Lace Sensors is "Out for Delivery" in Corpus Christi according to USPS tracking.

      Hi Skip:

      My PayPal account is:

      The stacked pot is the TBX, at least that's how it was sold to me when I purchased the Lace Sensors. The wiring diagram I put in the box is exactly what I used to install it. This column from Premier Guitar explains how it works:

      http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/The_Fender_TBX_Tone_Control_Part_1

      This site has some good alternatives for mods to the TBX. Worth a read: https://sites.google.com/site/phostenixwiringdiagrams/modified-tbx-tone-control

      And this is a digital copy of the wiring diagram:

      Thanks for all the info Jon.

      I gave the info to my son Aaron to get you the money to your paypal.

      I let you know how it all turns out.

      Later, Skip

  10. Hi Skip.

    Sorry, still dealing with post hurricane fallout at my workplace. I don't have a standard Strat guard for these, as I hand routed the one I have to fit around a Floyd trem baseplate. I will sell you the blue/silver/red set plus the tone pot for $60 shipped. Don't bother with PayPal if you would rather just send a check upon receiving the goods. I will ship it to you and let you get your hands on them. HFC honor system works fine by me. 

    Regards,

    Jon

      Hey Biz, I'll take you up on it.

      By the way, which color goes where?

      Is it  Blue/neck, Silver/middle, Red/bridge?

      I guess you also use standard volume and tone pots with these pickups?

      Please answer these questions for me.

      I really appreciate you hooking me up. Thanks,

      Send them here:

      Skip:

      You got the configuration exactly right. Standard pots work fine. I will get them in USPS to you tomorrow.  I used them for over a year in my #1 Strat gigging the southeastern college circuit. Noiseless and perfrct for rock. Hope they work for you, too.

      Regards,

      Jon

      Thanks Jon.

      I pretty sure they'll offer me cool and different alternative fat strat tones that I don't

      get from my other strats.

      I'll be waiting for them.

      Thanks,Skip

  11. Hey Biz, I think I'm interested in the set up pickups that you had. I guess that was the

    red/silver/blue.  Is it just the pickups, or are they loaded in a pickguard.

    How much are you wanting for the set of 3 Lace pickups and with pickguard if loaded.

    This would be shipped to Corpus Christi Texas 78413.

    I could use my son's paypal if it would work for you. Let me  know.

     

    Thanks,Skip

     

  12. Hey Carfish, I might take you up on that. I'm pretty sure this one originally came with 3 Golds.

    So if the existing pickups don't cut it when I get the guitar back, I'll probably be getting back with you.

    Thanks,

  13. Hey Biz. I'm assuming you just have the pickups and not a loaded pickguard with the pickups, right?

    What would you sell the set of 3 pickups for ?

    After I get my guitar back from my guitar tech, I'll decide if I can live with the tones the guitar has now or try to install the Lace Sensor pickups in the guitar to get close to the original tones .

    Thanks for the offer

      Really appreciate that Biz.

      I should know something next week after I get the guitar back and put it through its paces.

      Thanks

      10-4. Nice grab, by the way. You always seem to get great deals!

      Thanks.

      It's all about being at the right place at the right time.

      I just make sure I'm there A LOT, and always have a good amount of cash on hand at all times.

  14. I remember you showing me that one Skip! Beautiful!! That was another guitar you got a great deal on,was it not! Yea Gary. I got a deal on it back in '84. I paid $500 for it all original w/ OHSC. In todays dollar conversion, I would have purshased this guitar for $1158 in 2015. I guess it was a steal either then or now. This one is definitely being passed down to my guitar playing son. I'd hope this would be the last one standing if he ever had to sell all the others.
