NBD - the drunken purchase

TheOtherDennisTheOtherDennis Frets: 2010
Got this off the evil that is bay the other night. The classic "Don't go on ebay drunk!" result, but this time I think it's turned out rather well, actually.

Had to do a three hour round trip to pick the damn thing up last night, but it's actually quite nice. Surprisingly light, but with a nice tone to it.

Not bad for 76 quid. They're nearly 200 new.

    £76 is a steal for that. Even £200 new is a bargain. The pickups aren't the best but the body and neck are excellent so it's a great platform for upgrading.

    Considering it was a pound less than my last Ebay drunken purchase - a Dunlop "Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Wah" which is actually a bad wah and a bad distortion in the same casing, and which I knew would sound crap even before it arrived, after I'd sobered up - I'd say it's even more of a good deal :).

  • It's actually about average from what I could tell from the other finished auctions - they were going from 62 to about 90, with most of them around the 80 mark, so I'm not unhappy with it. :-)
