Why the fuk is it so hard for everyone to just post their freakin' pics up when they place an ad??? Makes for a very suspicious transaction.... like you've got something to hide. People don't really like having to navigate elsewhere to accomodate your sale

there you go

That's a beautiful guitar. The pickup looks like after market though; do you have the original? I have a friend who collects Juniors, he's got about ten of them. I have a '79 reissue of a '59 Junior, but I put a locking nut, Washburn Wonderbar tremola and EMG pickups in it so it has little collector appeal. But it sounds fantastic.

the pickup is 100% original, as is the whole guitar - why do you think it looks 'aftermarket'?

Probably because I don't have a '58 lol. I'd love to pick it up but I just got back to work recently so I better pay some bills. I can let my collector buddy know, he might be interested.

feel free to do so

thanks

$6,000.00 I remember when I wouldnt give $250.00 for one. Nice guitar tho
funny how things change.

Hello Lightningeckle,
It looks to me like a good £100 to £200 worth of guitar, though I am sure it plays nicely enough... must have a rather limited range of tones with just one pickup; well, one tone!

Mr. Phillips,no disrespect...I used to think he same thing, but to clear up what I beleive is a common miscoception, all you have to do is play up on the neck for a very hollow round sound, or down close to the bridge for a very spiky mettallic and harsh sound. I found this out when I built a guitar and only could afford to put one pick-up in it.I guess less really is more. thanx, Guitar Ed

more like why the fuk does anyone pay 6,000 dollars for a guitar!
For 1/6 that, I'd contract a local luthier to build me something completely custom and to my demands.

Fender and Gibson got out of control years ago and entered into the corporate brainwashing scheme of brand loyalty and how the name on the headstock and money spent translates to value one appoints to oneself.

I've got a 65 dollar strat and 100 dollar flying V that rivals Fender and Gibson thousand dollar models.
Just goes to show we're a shallow culture brainwashed by corporate imperialism....or that I'm only worth 165 dollars!

Hello all,
I am increasingly convinced we don't get what we pay for with guitars... except if in the sense that we want a name and the idea of that name?

And I still think a one pickup guitar is a very limited guitar for tone... by all means try playing it up and down from the bridge to get some variety, but you can quapruple the number of tones and sounds if you have a humbucker and a couple of single coil Strat type pickups.

I bought a Yamaha Strat for £35 ($70) and it is a great guitar that plays and sounds as good as any Fender Strat I have been lucky enough to play.

I am not a pro with guitars, but I buy and convert a lot of guitars and I love them all: Schecter, Ibanez, Cort whatever; but I am increasingly convinced that guitars are much simpler things than we think, and that apart from beautiful woods and a superb crafted finish, that a few hundred dollars can achieve everything in terms of playing and sound, that you get for thousands of dollars on a Fender or Gibson.

Cheers guys from freezing snowy Sussex England!
