    Sounds like a similar spec to the one I put in my old Charvel tele (er, esquire - with the Eldred circuit). Killer pickup.

    Hi Chromium,

    Would you consider selling the Korina Jr. to a Canadian? I could get you to ship it to a US address near the border (Oroville, Washington State) and I will take care of the rest.. Of course I would pay you in US funds. If so, can you give me a description of condition and some more photos. I have bought 1 guitar from a US member of this website so if you need a reference I can give you one, of course once I get permission from said member to give his name as a reference. Is it all original? I am assuming  being an 05, it would have the Vintage Carve neck. Looking forward to your reply. Cheers.

    My real name is Dana (and I am a dude).

      Hi Dana,

      Yes - I'd be happy to help you out re: shipping it, and will send you some photos (out running around this evening).  

      I have measurements of the neck (vintage carve) and it is perfect aside from some minor fret wear - nothing serious (have pics to show).  No buzz, plays beautifully, and has lots of meat left.  Tried to price to reflect that - definitely a good deal (I gave 1400 for it).

      More to come...

      Cheers,

      Joe

    That's me- slow and steady. So you've given me something to aspire to. I'm only in this for the glamour, after all Have no idea how someone could let it get that far, but it could have been sitting unused/unnoticed in an environment that had a lot of pests (...envisioning an episode of Hoarders).

    Wow. I've had a bunch of old gear come and go, but have yet to encounter anything crawling or flesh eating. Occasional spider web, hairball, nondescript goobers, etc.. are more the norm. If it were me, I'd probably try to carefully delouse that case- spray the hell out of it with white vinegar (should kill eggs in the event those things are spawning in there), let it air dry, and then wipe it down with a moist rag to clean it out, vacuum, etc... I've had to do that to a couple cases that smelled like Keith Richards had passed out in 'em.

    I usually give the steel wool a squirt of lemon oil (or naptha) and run over the whole board (with the grain as mentioned) and wipe it down with a cloth afterward. Cleans off any goobs and leaves it looking nice. Also, a strip of masking tape over the neck pickup helps keep any steel whiskers from gathering...

    ^ this (re: the strap) I use Levy 4.5" wide padded leather straps: http://www.amazon.com/Levys-Leathers-MSS2-4-BLK-Garment-Signature/dp/B000XPNWU2 My old Bs aren't so bad, but the Gibson Triumph that I also gig is a bit of a beefcake (~10.5 lbs). Those straps make a huge difference after holding that thing 4-5 hours.

    Wow.

    Dang. This is the only other flat Strat plate that I recall seeing... http://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/blaster.html Pricey for what you need, but they do have black.. and maybe they'd sell just the plate if asked

    If it helps, this site appears to have some black NOS 80s flat Schecter jack plates in stock... http://tonyfarr.ca/tonyfarr.ca/FARR_TEST.swf

    I like burgundy mist. Gibson's heather poly might look cool too - lighter, more lavender. Almost redid my tbird in that color, but chickened out and went with ocean turquoise. Good move on the bridge. I can get along with the 3-points, but wouldn't intentionally do it
