brentrocks Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I took a chance on a 2002 H 150 on craigslist...it was listed at $1000. I contacted the seller, we made a deal....he kinda soaked me for the shipping/insurance/box/PP fees....but i ended up getting it home for just under $1100 It turned out to be a good buy. Not mint, just a couple little bumps, nothing through the finsh. Stock Schaller pups, converted nashville tail and bridge, no fret wear. Its around 9 lbs and has a pretty skinny neck. A little checking by the headstock, but no signs of stress anywhere. A solid rocker for sure!!! Just honest, light play wear....and a monster top!!!

MartyGrass Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Excellent catch! $1100 is a great deal for a thin neck and that top. And the back is super, too. You did extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's a combination of GAS relief, and "Holy Crap, my wife is going to KILL me when she see's another guitar box coming to the front door!"

I think the bridge totally rocked. However, I'm starting to wonder if pots/wiring/caps being swapped might of made a difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Brent, do you even keep count? It's not like "what did Brent buy this month?". It's not even like "what did Brent buy this week?" It's more like "what did Brent buy today?" You got GAS bbbaaddd!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
