tomteriffic Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 GAS attack..... I'm reluctantly offering for sale a pretty unusual Eclipse. This one is of the green/blue flip-flop variety BUT is predominantly Blue, unlike most of these that you see in this color. Badger Dave (he of the impeccable taste) converted the pickups to old Gibson mini-humbuckers, rebuilt with Alnico magnets and wax-potted. These lower-output pick-em-ups turn this into quite the toneful animal. A Tone Pro's intonatable wraparound tailpiece seals the deal. A few bumps and bruises, nothing through the finish and nothing really major, but they're there. Pics in a day or so, I can't seem to locate the ones I have. This is a honey and I'm going to hate myself in the morning so grab it quick $700 Shipped, CONUS, add the usual for PayPal. EDIT Photos added below.
Guest pirateflynn Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Is this it, Tom? Very, very cool..............
tomteriffic Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 That's the one. I just couldn't find my copy of the pic.
BCR Greg Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I did the pickups for Badger on that one.Buy this from Tom, he's top shelf.
cmatthes Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 That's the same color as my '95 Eclipse 12 - it's weird - not the Candy Green that was the stock finish, but like mentioned above, it is almost a blue/green flip-flop finish.Tough to describe, but my first choice for this model!
BadJaxx Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 please send me any additional pics that you come across....how's the neck shape/size?
tomteriffic Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 please send me any additional pics that you come across....how's the neck shape/size? Will do.The neck is mid-90's medium medium. Very comfy.Yeah, I shoulda mentioned that Unca Greggy did the pickemups. Way cool tones out of this one.
Zoner Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Trade for a nicely modified Phantom custom or the title to a '80's Toyota Corolla Wagon? Z
Guest galejt Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Tom How do you feel about short Italian women?
tomteriffic Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 TomHow do you feel about short Italian women? I usually use my hands. At least until such time as I get slapped or shot.

BadJaxx Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 since you posted "GAS ATTACK"...i'm assuming no trades....
Zoner Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 The Phantom is the one, but the mods on that Eclipse are VERY tasty! Z
jwhitcomb3 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Oh, man...This is the one I've been waiting for, and I just pulled the trigger on a Larrivee (arriving tomorrow). Let me see if I can free up some cash...-Jonathan
tomteriffic Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 since you posted "GAS ATTACK"...i'm assuming no trades.... Jaxx, nope, not on this one. Sorry.
jwhitcomb3 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Which Larrivee? I got a special edition flamed maple parlor (full body and fingerboard binding). It will arrive tomorrow and I'm sure I'll bore y'all to tears with my description in the next few days!-Jonathan
