My musical things

I think the nearest match for that kramer is the Aerostar model , it was a far eastern made guitar and was probably plywood.

Not an exact match but close enough , unless anyone knows different.

Actually that mystery Strat coulda been a JB Player from the mid-80s. They made a model just like it....there are a couple on eBay right now.

Not bad guitars...

No news on the project at the moment . I'm looking to buy a Candy apple red body but I'm spending loads on a motorbike project as well.

Better put the Missus on the street.

I have acquired this tonight.



An old friend called me to say he was down on his luck and needed a bit of cash , he offered me this six month old , barely played and in mint condition , jewel blue Ibanez GRG270B.

I gave him £80 for it!

Worth a punt I thought

Congrats!

I know they're only base entry , although this looks like it was the top base entry . Anyway ,after playing it for a few HOURS it's really taken me back to my old 1987 RG550 , and for £80!!!!

I bought it 'cos it was cheap and I knew I could sell it on for a profit whilst helping out a mate....But I might just keep it!

Seeing as you got it for a deal, you could sit on it for a while and sell it back to him when he gets back on his feet (if he really like this guitar) ...just a thought.

Good on ya for helping him out,btw.

It's not six months old , it's a 2007 but it's still mint .... I'm really enjoying playing a 'floyd' ( Ibanez edge lll ) again .... so much so that I'm looking into offloading the Malmsteen and buying a cool prestige RG.

[Reverberator]

Ok ....an update!!

I sold on that blue Ibanez to a mate for £100 , but the best bit is that he also gave me two cheap '80s superstrats....

The natural coloured on was made in korea or similar by a company called Maison , the Maison name on the headstock is in the Gibson font !! it's a pretty crappy guitar but i bet theres not that many around.

The black one is a marlin sidewinder , a cheap strat copy in it's day made in Wales UK , it has a Kahler style locking bridge , BUT the best thing is that the body is fender dimensions almost exactly so you remember that neck i got? .... it fits the body perfectly and the body is naturally reliced as it's around 25 years old.

A David Gilmour strat project is what I'm planning to do.

[Seshmeister]

I tried a couple of Marlins back in the day, they were shocking.

[Reverberator]

Yep Sesh .... but if you think a marlin is bad you should try a maison, truly awful

[lesfunk]

New addition!



Ibanez RG 350 DX .... I liked the feel of that Ibanez I just sold and have thought for a long time about a better model , so yeah let's have one .... and it's good , very good.

But the other story concerns my Malmsteen , as I was going to the store to buy the Ibanez I thought I'd get some idea on what I could get in part ex for it if in the future I wanted to swap for something like a Les Paul etc. So bearing in mind that I bought this guitar from this store and also spent a lot of cash on other things namely digitech pedal and the epi lp , I was hopeful that they would be fair .....Looking around in the store I found the Ibanez , ok that's what I'm here for so I found one of the assistants and asked him two questions " How much is the Ibanez as I would like to buy it" and " What would you give me for my Malmsteen as I'm thinking of a Les Paul in the near future" his replies were " £350 for the RG" and " I'll get someone to look at the Malmsteen" . So after a couple of minutes this guy comes up and I recognise him as the guy who sold me the Malm 3 years ago , and he recognises me too ....... I open the case " that's in mint condition " he says " I remember you buying it " he says " what did you pay for it?" " £1350 three years ago" I said ....." hmmm " he goes " it's only worth £600 " ..... " there's no market for them , even on ebay they only go for that , no one wants them" so I said " On your website the same model goes for £1450 and this is a mint one " " well it's still only worth £600 ( as he's nooding on it the cheeky bastard) , so you want to buy that Ibanez then?" ...... " Yeah I do mate .... but not from you , goodbye"

I walked a mile across City and bought the Ibanez from another smaller shop , £20 cheaper .... but this is the rub , I have spent £1000's in that store over the years , they know I have, and to be insulted with an offer of £600 for a 2007 mint bullet Malmsteen is sticking in my craw , I don't need or particulary want to sell it but I find i don't use it too much , so I'll be hanging on to it.

As for the big store in Birmingham England ..... Fuck you.
