Hamers rock Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 You say it's the best ebay find ever but I can't find where you say how much you paid for it. Okay, While replying I see it. Not sure if thatis a "best ebay find ever"....but it's a nice guitar.
Lockbody Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Not sure if thatis a "best ebay find ever"....but it's a nice guitar. I dunno. A potential $1000 to $2000 profit? For about 30 seconds work?Seems like a damn fine find to me.Even though I don't have $1700 to spend, I would not have hesitated either the second I saw that BIN.$1700 BIN?*click*
intelligentpony Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 That's the best eBay deal I have ever seen on an original Standard, swapped pickups or not. What amazes me is that it had 21 hits before you snagged it. Being broke or not, if I had seen it before you I would have been all over it. Enjoy it and welcome to the Standard club.

That price is a score! Congratulations again. Very nice Standard. I found one here in Europe last year for a price just slightly above what you paid, so I'm a happy camper too. Try to find original pickups for it if you can. The original Dimarzio's are great and will make that guitar sound just as it is supposed to. It will rock, do the jazz, the blues or whatever else you want to play on it (Original early Hamer Dimarzio's, I love 'em.)
serial Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 That was not a good eBay deal. T'was a GREAT one. Congrats and welcome to the Four Digit Club!
bubs_42 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks for the reply's everyone its not everyday you can actually get a guitar you dream of! About the pickups I've got one 79 dimarzio paf in the original plastic case in Double Cream and I haven't tried it out yet. I'm just a duncan kind of Guy. Mybe i'll at least give her a try or Post her Here....
intelligentpony Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 If you have some original Dimarzios with the braided wire, you might want to put them in. The pickups in my 0114 sound killer. You really should try them.

bubs_42 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 It is braided, and I'll do it! I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Hamerica Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 What Serial said! Great score and welcome to the four digit club. Those dark bursts are just killer. Right next to those Natural Bursts, next to the Tea Bursts, next to the...Hamerica
