    GREAT deal ona '66 Wilshire with minis

    Here's your chance to get a great playing, very good quality, terrific sounding, fun guitar for an incredible price.

    Stupid Deal of the Day | Musician's Friend

    Musician's Friend adds a fresh Stupid Deal of the Day every day. These deals are in limited quantities so act now to get the best deals across every instrument category.


    The mini hums sound a lot like P-90s, but with no hum at all. More fun to play than an SG, but with better balance and similar tone quality. Light weight but solid. And it even comes with the improved Tremotone vibrato.

        Where can you find a guitar with this quality and great tone for less than $300? And it has the Tremotone which is similar to a Bigsby that costs over $150. That's a really great deal in my book.

          Looks fun. Not really into massive moving bridges I'd never use but the guitar itself looks nostalgic and cool, and I'd probably pick one up if I was looking to buy right now.

            Local shop has one of these and I play it regularly. It's a wonderful instrument! Great deal to be had here.

              Damn. My bandmate got a matte black hardtail one a few years ago, and it is an amazingly good guitar. He plays it all the time. If I had 300 bucks to drop on a whim at this moment, it would be a no brainer.

              I don't know why, but the ones with the full-sized hummers and gloss finish are built nowhere near as well IME.

                I have had the exact opposite luck so far. Haven't been able to find a faded w/mini's that's any good at all I am sure they are out there

                    It would be nice if they reissued the early '60s spec version that doesn't cost stupid money because it's made by G's custom shop.

                        Does that mean you can't count higher than 7?

                        The faded Wilshires with minis are great guitars and easily worth their price. $299 is a no-brainer deal.
