They've done that for me also. Bought a used guitar. They started a 10% off sale past my return date but I called anyways. They gave me a 10% refund, no questions asked.

That trem may be expensive, but for someone who has a collection of guitars there will be a time to start expanding into experimental parts. That is how a Peterson strobe tuner ended up in my possession. @diablo175 has a good reason for the Shark. Go for it!

It's a set neck construction so, you're likely seeing where the neck is glued in and then routed over for the neck p'up? I need to ask Attila about that...

In fairness, the Edge and the Shark are an apples to oranges comparison. The Shark is closer to a Kahler mechanically (and as someone who is NOT a fan of Kahler cam bridges, that in of itself is somewhat remarkable). Per my earlier post, the selling point of the Shark is being able to lock it, on the fly, into a fixed bridge. Not aware of the Edge being capable of that, or am I missing something? I'm not trying to sell anyone on a $800 bridge. If I weren't in the financial situation that I am, I wouldn't be even thinking about it, either. But it does address numerous issues and sets up the distinct possibility of only needing to bring one ax to a gig/appearance. I can do fixed bridge, drop tuned and fully floating tunes all on the same ax. To me, that's worth the 800 clams. YMMV

Your diagram looks like the neck pup is under the neck...? I want to get a V someday.

That trem looks great, but the price blows it up big time

Met him a couple of times in Austin and travelled with him when I was doing tour management for Guy Forsyth - he was in the band at the Cognac Festival. A really great human being. Rest in Peace.

And that price does not include the nut 😳 Nut Price: The matching Shark Modular Nut or Fixed Nut "must be bought separately", priced around $134 to $209 depending on the variant (with the modular version typically running about $174).

Yeah, looks cool, but I wouldn't drop 800 clams on it. I'm with Victor. The Ibanez Edge original was the best trem I've used. It never went out of tune. To me the locking studs give it the edge.

Just got back. 5th row. It was like having him in your living room. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Look for all my stuff in the For Sale section.

Not those. Outer circle has that. : ) It's been a while. Post pics of yer "got sumthin in common" guitars. I've been wanting to get these two together for a while. Special thanks to @stratacus!

I bought a used Vox AC15HWR1X two weeks before the sale from GC Used (Houston). Last Saturday I contacted my MF rep, and she promptly refunded my card with the 10%. AND surprisingly, the amp was packed REALLY WELL. I was amazed!

I'm sure you know, but just clarifying for others who may be interested... That's a misprint USA Checkerboard Special with a added Kahler bridge

I was in the Rockford GC on Sunday trading in several guitars. I can confirm that the 10% discount is real and there were no pre-discount markups. I'd established a good rapport with the store manager as we worked through my deal, so I felt comfortable telling him (politely) that he'd be lucky to get $1,500 for that Special. He was receptive and interested what I thought the issues were. He also told me that prices on all vintage trade-ins were determined by "corporate". I assume that means the the Hollywood store.

For your listening pleasure: the mighty Gary Moore beating the shit out of his Strat. Features Jack Bruce on vocals as well. The fun begins at approx. the 1 minute mark...........

800 sheets for a tremolo 😲 I have bought cars for less than a tenth of that! It looks great but I'll take my chances with my Gotoh Floyd's until my numbers come in 👍

The Gibby '57 'buckers are a great set of pickups. If i needed a set of Tele pickups, the LL set would be a good place to start. GLWTS

Thanks, Chris. Of course not thrilled about it, but the reality is thankfully it won’t put a big damper on life other than the irritation it caused.

I'm going to call them and tell them XT Series are only worth $350 and see if I can snag it.

There was a Monaco III last week at GC - sold fairly quickly (before I even got to share a link here).

Conversely, if Saul Goodman's thread creation slows to 10 per day, we know he's tied up in a basement somewhere. And not in the fun way.

$2159.99 after the discount is applied.
