various bits and pieces

Paul_C

I've got a pile of old guitars that aren't worth a whole lot collectively, let alone individually, but I'm happy to take some pictures if anyone's interested in some (or all) of them.

the list includes:

a Japanese acoustic guitar body, no neck or bridge attached - £5

a 12 string acoustic which has a letter sellotaped to it claiming that the guitar was made by Julian Breem (it has the intials JB badly scratched in the back, so it must be true) it's missing a tuner and even though it's not been tuned the action looks alarmingly high - £15

a Charvette body and neck (not sure I have the pickups/tuners etc.) which I stripped, reshaped and added a flame maple veneer to the top, but never got round to finishing - £25

a Washburn neck, very tatty, needs refretting as someone (not me) made a right mess of the frets that are on there. - £10

a Westone Thunder 1-A (the pots/switch/jack probably need replacing, but IIRC the preamp works) - the paintwork on the body is a mess and needs finishing - £50

there will no doubt be some more bits and pieces to follow as I start to clear out my workshop

Northampton.

Some pics of the Epiphone LPJ would be lovely, please. Is it a P90 or humbucker model? And what colour? Would you consider posting this stuff, or is it pickup in person only? Ta!

Paul_C

I'll sort out some pics tomorrow (need batts. for my camera) - it's got humbuckers in it.

No problem to post at cost, which might well be more than some of the stuff is worth

Very tempted by the Westone and the Epi LP Jr (and who knows what else as your workshop gets cleared out!).

Scarily, I'll be passing by Northampton tomorrow evening.  I'll PM some details ...

edit - the Epi LP junior has a single humbucker, looks like a grubby/scuffed up version of this:

Paul_C

the 12 string (after actually looking at it) is branded "The Hawk" which a quick Google suggests was made in East Germany, probably not by Julian Breem, even if he did scratch his initials in it

Very interested in the Charvette, some pics would be great

Paul_C

will do - I neglected to mention (because I hadn't looked at it for many years) that it's got a red stain on it that's waiting to be sanded back, which might limit the buyer's colour options

Paul_C

there might be a box of bits somewhere with a bridge and maybe even some or all of the pickups, whatever I can find will be included, but at the point all I can say for sure that I have is what you see in the pic - the frets are pretty tidy on the neck, which is a bonus !

cavity covers and screws found for the Westone

one bump and then I'll move them on elsewhere . . .
