Well, I think that's what most everyone is questioning. Granted the opinions and conjecture in this thread are running away like a train, but there is reason to be concerned. If Fender decides to make changes, no one can stop them.

That would be mine...in time.A girl can dream...

I'll give you three guesses...

I forgot all about it. Thanks for bumping it. We may not all get along all of the time, but we sure can band together to beat the shit out of some know-it-all-n00b who's trying to tell us what's what! Between this and the JazzFusionGuy thread all others should be forewarned.

How could you possibly have any money left after this latest spree?

From L-R: ... 1978 (the one that PFlynn posted above)... Dude, that's not pirateflynn's. His is a '79. The one in that pic is the Black Bastard. How soon they forget...

I didnt know suhr sold pickups.Oh shit...here comes the next obsession...

You know it!

Or is it that you run out long before you are done taking them? I can't decide.

Or, if it ever came to that, we can change the name any time we want and they can go f*ck themselves. Didn't you read Wordupperman's "VERY reliable source" post above? I don't know who Wordupperman is, but I'm certain that he does.

Stay tuned for the Special/Sunburst reissue Custom Shop Master Built Relics!

Hey, Greg is a friend, so I'm just being honest. It's like when the Doc told me that I had to have my gall bladder removed. He said, "It's a simple operation." It probably was - for him. The part that he left out was how difficult the recovery was. Shoulder operations are a bitch, but once the repair is made and you've gone through the physical therapy, it's well worth it.

Having had shoulder surgery, I can tell you that he'll be able to do anything that you only need one arm to do - what ever that might be. I can tell you that everything becomes more difficult: Eating, dressing, undressing, brushing your teeth, washing your face, showering & washing your hair (two things that you can't do for three days, by the way), typing, even sleeping. Yes, sleeping. Not only because of the unGodly pain, but because when you lay down on your back, the whole geometry of your shoulder changes. It wants to fall down to the mattress, instead of centered in the socket. The pain from that was enough to wake me up out of a sound, pain killer-aided sleep (something that Greg will not allow himself the luxury of) and relegated me to the sofa so that I could sleep in an upright position (or at least try to) for three nights. Again, pain killers can be a big help here (so can late night television). Greg will have to hope for really boring TV and a miracle from Advil. Everyone that I know of that has had both shoulder and knee surgery has told me that they'd rather have 10 knee operations before they'd have another shoulder operation. I'd prefer to skip both of them, moving forward. That said, my surgically-repaired shoulder feels like new. So much so that I could kick myself for not having it done when I actually tore it up 15 years ago.

Of course it is. It's a used instrument.

LOL! I was waiting for that!

Oh....I thought it was....never mind. Butter!

Man! What a top on that one!

I hate you.

White ones are typically in the $700 - $850 range. More with matching headstock. You have to take at least $100 - $150 off for unoriginal pickups, though.

I've seen that dozens of times on those guitars, original and otherwise. Either way, it wouldn't impact the sale price much. The guitar as a whole looks good, is what I meant. If I were looking for one, I'd pay a grand for that one.

Looks good to me!

I used to seek out guitars in that category all the time and used to score often. That was back before the days of sniping software, and whatever it is these kids today do.

Absolutely. I almost felt bad for the seller. In most cases, if someone hits the "Buy It Now" button and your auction lasts 45 seconds, it means you probably priced it too low. Yea, I don't think getting back what you have into it will be a problem.

A no-brainer.

A STEAL!
