T-51Fred Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Have a shot at this one, but I need to know a reasonable offer. I've never even considered a guitar with a Floyd rose before.
Dave Scepter Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 That's the guitar from a pawn shop in New York listed on eBay... the guy will take $500 for it "without a case"... just be aware of his negative feedbacks... could be a great guitar though or a nightmare shipping it back and forth...
killerteddybear Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 There's a PSA in the For Sale section that identifies this as a 1986 Chapparal.
T-51Fred Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks guys. It's a bit too hacked up for me. I'll toss out an offer I can live with. Looks to need an overhaul and paint job.

cmatthes Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 If that guitar was straight and original, it would probably sell for @ $1,200 or so, with original case. If you're starting at $500-$600, it'll cost you much more than that to restore it to "like original" condition with no OHSC, and you'll still have a refinished, restored guitar that is worth less than the original should you want/need to sell.
T-51Fred Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks Matthes and Dave Scepter. I've decided to pass on it. It's too rough. I don't like to buy guitars I am likely to loose money on. It also doesn't seem my flavor. Gonna pass.

There is a cool Hamer USA Diablo on Reverb for $600 with HSC & "Juarez wound" SD-JB pickups with free shipping... at least that way if you decide you don't like it, you can turn around and sell it for what you have into it... & more of a strat scale type USA Hamer Diablo LTD 1992 Orange Burst https://reverb.com/item/4095090-usa-hamer-diablo-ltd-1992-orange-burst?device=android-app

Word was he wanted $500 minimum for that trashed one. Glad I moved on. Actually, I passed my G.A.S. onto another guitar. I'm cured for the time being.
