[CLOSED] Geetars... Geetars for sale.

[edwardofhuncote]

Rather than start a half-dozen threads, I'll just pitch a couple on here every so often. I'm selling these locally too... so, hopefully gone soon.

Up 1st:

2012 Les Paul Special HB-something. (?) Reminds me of a Red Velvet cake.

It's a very simple mahogany slab guitar, with two humbuckers. Robitussin Red, grainy satin finish, bound fingerboard. Some know-it-alls on the guitar boards say there aren't many of them, and they have a baked maple fingerboards. Looks like rosewood to me... whatev. It's a simple workingman's Gibson guitar, without a broke headstock, and...

I had a pair of '61 Burstbuckers installed with coil-tapping tone pots. (pull up on the tone pots, and they split the 'buckers into single-coils) This was a HUGE improvement from the stock 490R/498T pickups. Totally different guitar. Alas, if I could play, I'd be playing the P-90 equipped one in the case next to it, or the Goldtop Standard on the other side. Hey, never know... hang out a while and you might see them here too! 

It's in a nice hardshell case. $850. (shipped within the good ol U.S. of A.)

Here's another one:

Fairly new (2020) Fender Strat hardtail, Robert Cray Signature model. Has a little squiggly siggy on the headstock too, from the Smokin' Gun, his own self. Well, not really.

You can read up on these yourself... I'm no expert, but here's what I got. I love Robert Cray's music, I'm a sucker for black/cream on sunburst finishes, and I hate tremolo bridges. So I put those criteria together and this one comes along. Really nice feeling maple neck with rosewood board, as opposed to the Mexico Tele necks I just can't love. The hardtail bridge? It sucked. It was absolutely junk. So I bought a nice heavy Kluson replacement. Perfect fit. I finally got the setup where I wanted it, and what can I say... in spite of the Fender choice of pickups on these, some special staggering of the polepieces I'm not smart enough to understand... my old Squier Strat still has something over it for me. Besides that, Brother [elwood blue] wired me up a vintage WD pickguard with an old-old-old set of Seymour Duncans, and a modular harness so I can switch out the electronics with the originals easy-peasy. (on my Squier... this Fender is *bone-stock original* electronics)

So my Robert Cray Signature Strat needs a new home... it will arrive at yours in a nice Fender gig bag. (well-packed of course)

$1000 shipped in the States.

As before, email me for pics or answers to existential questions, or to argue over whether Fleetwood Mac was better off before Lindsey and Stevie joined the band.

Sold my PA, and cleaned out my band trailer, found these... two (2) of these 2U Gator rackbags. One was new with tags, and screws, the other looks lightly used. I think we had a power amp in it and went to a bigger amp that needed a deeper rack.


Sweetwater sells these for $129 - I'll sell both for that. And throw in the screws.

Les Paul Special is [SOLD] locally. Guy already had four of 'em... I think dude was goin' for days-of-the-week. I suggested Tuesday for Red Velvet here. (Tuesday, bein' Gone, and all...)

I sold a Telecaster earlier too. Butterscotch Blonde. Tortoise guard. Too much meh. Not enough boing. But it went to a good home.

G'nite y'all... maybe a couple more on the block this week.

Keep them coming you've wetted my whistle...

Too much meh. Not enough boing.

i've had that happen from time to time.  usually it's expensive when it does.  sometimes really expensive.  but it always works out in the end.  usually.

  Well, I've been down there too!

I sold two more geetars locally this week, lesser value ones it wouldn't have been worth payin' FedEx to haul anywhere. Met a couple really nice local pickers. One older gentleman, Bill R. bought a piano black Epiphone Les Paul Custom I'd had for a decade. Super-nice fella. He had several El-Pees, and instantly took a liking to my Korean factory Custom. Now it's his.

And "Bubba-san" the EMG'd Japanese Telecaster copy is gone to live with a jazz/blues cat in the next County over. Had a nice little Quilter guitar rig and some custom cabinets, and been looking for a clean gain Tele. He'll be good for that guitar.

I've had 50 calls on the Robert Cray Signature, but still got it. One dude wanted to trade me some pitbull puppies. If he'd had some goats we might could've dealed... I hate mowin'.

Still got the Gator Rackbags. (I can't get the stupid ad to post on CL...)

Other things I'm contemplating offloading include a couple amps, preamps. Speaker cabinets are a heavy PITA to ship, and I'd just as soon sell them locally, but I got a couple Bag End S15D's that can hit the road.

G'nite again y'all.

It is truly amazing. I challenge anyone here; post an ad on Craigslist and walk to your refrigerator for a drink... before you finish pouring, some gravy-suckin' scammer-spammer will ignore the explicit instructions and text you- "is this still available?"


I would pay good money for the ability to download an app that allowed me to respond by melting their devices. Like today's Far Side cartoon of God at His computer.

[edwardofhuncote]

Adding to the stuff: I sold the geetars they went to.

Very lightly used geetar straps. Lightly used as in, never been out of the house. D'Addario branded, leather, I reckon. Each will come with a padded gel thingy, also from D'A.

$15 ea. I would much rather somebody just took them all for $40, and pitched me a buck or two to mail them.


*contemplating freeing another Les Paul. This one's Dorothy. Split the coils on mini-humbuckers, and there's no telling where you end up...

[edwardofhuncote]

Gator 2U rackbags are gone to Providence, the one in Rhode Island... 


Still got D'addario straps and a dadgum house fulla' geetars. Just tryin' to figure out which ones to keep a while.


Robert Cray still here, but had some local interest.


Unfortunately, I am upside-down on Dorothy, so I'm thinking about just gifting her to one of my nephews. Part of the downside of upgrading cheaper geetars. It was a good experiment though. Maybe I can talk one of them into building me a new front porch in a swap? I can sell that...

[edwardofhuncote]

Adding a couple more Levy's straps to the thread... from geetars already sold. Both of these are very nice, well-padded, 3" straps. One was on a vintage Series I guitar and the other on my recently sold Distillate. (just to give you an idea of what they'll fit...)

$25 each or a better deal for both.

I have these two Bag End cabinets listed in the Talkbass Classifieds. Shipping is probably going to make this a tough sell, but if someone here wants these, I'll try to make it work. One is an S15-D, the other is an X-D. Here are links that'll get you to specs.

I had slip covers made for both of them, and Speakon-to1/4"fem adapters for cables, will also include.

I'd like to put $400 in the bank after paying FedEx.

[pauldo]

dang.... those Bag Ends! 

[edwardofhuncote]

Got them out yesterday, took pictures for my other ad.
