What's Hot
I give in, this is way too complicated for me. It just took me almost 2 hours to change the strings! It came to me with the electronics all desoldered and am emg pickup fitted. After help from here the pickup was removed and two from an ibanez added though I don't know what they are sorry.
I also changed the pots for some used ones I had again no idea what they are. Its working now but I don't know if it's working right or not so I'd suggest new pots and wiring by someone with half of a clue. One of the original pickups is included too but something has been done to the wires as some are taped up. It does work though
Good points are there is minimal scratching etc and the neck and body seem to be out of one piece of wood. It has really odd grover tuners and a floyd rose bridge. Hard case also included. You are welcome to come and look at it, I'm at the limits and beyond of my knowledge so questions will likely get an 'ermmm" I don't know what to say for price so open to suggestions. Happy to trade for a half decent telecaster type guitar.

Just my 2c of course.
I adore the Peavey Rotor, and the equivalent version of that usually gets listed on eBay betwen £200-300. I don't know this shape, so don't know if it's more or less desirable.
@Rox Goddamn!
I paid less than £100 for each of mine! :O

It'll be a quality item.
Sorry @Skodadad - missed the difference, I'll remove the link as it's inaccurate and misleading. In which case, the Floyd ones seem to go for more.
@HarrySeven - that doesn't surprise me - you're Mr. Bargain Hunter...!
Given this guitar and a straight up tele are at pretty much opposite ends of the electric guitar spectrum it may be difficult to find someone looking to trade privately. Not impossible though. Part ex may be a good alternative
Getting it done quickly (ie walking out with new guitar on the day rather than waiting for a few days/weeks for a trade on here) is good as well as at this stage in your 6 string career having a guitar you want to pick up and play is so important - it will see you reaching for it more and more and improving quicker as a result which is certainly worth it IMHO.
As I said no one is watching or judging you in there anyway-it certainly not a competition. I find a few good open chords in different pickup/volume/tone settings gives a good sense of the guitars tone and resonance anyway (I never get the people in guitar shops playing endless high gain-look-at-me legato phrases!) besides just sitting with it playing and moving yours hands over it etc you get a sense of wherever it 'fits' you. It is worth trying a few for comparison as well.
Also might be worth taking some headphones if you have any that can be plugged into an amp. I don't think you need to worry at all as I said-but doing that can make people feel more comfortable which is a good thing.
And don't forget that your V-Type is the distant relative of a very desirable bit of '80's/'90's Metal-tastic excess:

Maybe we could work something out.
