Jimbilly Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 This is Chinese mfg I believe, big Slammer tiny Hamer on the headstock in trans red. I was going to put some spare pickups and pots in it, but it looks like I'm not going to get around to it, -it should make a fun project, paint the headstock black and make it a mystery Explorer. It's got a couple of dings and bruises, but it's in pretty good shape, the frets show almost zero wear. Both pups, all pots and the switch work (you'd probably want to replace those anyway), but it has no strings right now. It has a crappy homemade output jack that should show in the pics. There's quite a few finish scratches that should mostly buff out, there's about 4 or 5 little dings through the finish on the edges (half pencil eraser size-ish), plus several small dents. The neck looks quite good. I got as far as basic cleanup and my project ended there. No case either, it's a bolt on neck, so I could just remove the neck to ship, -that would be pretty easy. It should make a great project for those spare pickups you've got laying around. $200 sound fair? jimchristensen at yahoo.com
Scottcrud Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 can you take a pic of where it bolts on. Is that $200 shipped?
Jimbilly Posted January 1, 2006 Author Posted January 1, 2006 Sorry I didn't add that I'm going for $200 plus shipping, it should be right around $15 for most of the US, since now I know that 'the ups store' is a rippoff. I might as well just say $215 shipped continental US (neck unbolted). Low light, but they should show you what you need. 2 60w bulbs and a $25 digital camera:
Jimbilly Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 Any of you guys who were gone over the weekend interested?, How about at the suggested above $200 shipped?
Jimbilly Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 OK, last price drop before I start changing pickups. $160 shipped.
Jimbilly Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 Yeah, I'm starting to hope no-one wants it! I think the 'chinese' part is scaring people.
pesocaster Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 You could always have it plated and engraved with women with big boobies and swords... Just a thought....
Jimbilly Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 oooh!, that'd be byootiful!! -hahaha! Does that one still show up on ebay regularly? I should sell it to that guy for his next work of art.
Scottcrud Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 your tempting me!!! neck profile, is it slim?
Submariner85 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I would Ebay it man. They're going for about 180 to 220 on there. See if you can get a few ppl into a bid war.
Scottcrud Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 They're going for $180-220 without pickups!?!?
Jimbilly Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 I don't know neck profiles... I was in continuing ed for work all day, forgot my cell phone (that I can use w/ laptop to check the hfc). I can measure it w/ calipers, that seems less subjective. At the 5th fret, it's appx. .85" including the fret, but w/ no strings. And I've heard too many horror stories from all you guys to ebay it, some goof will buy and and complain that it's not a usa model, then scratch his name into it, break the headstock and send it back to me.
