Saw this guy on craigslist on Friday and snatched it up today. Head, Cab and footswitch for $300. Thing looks darn near new. And to top it off turns out the dude selling it lives around the corner from me so no driving necessary! :cool2: I Love the cleans and reverb in particular. Overdrive...

Re: An Incoming NGD on my Birthday! FREE 1971 Fender Strat

Just got done putting the waterslide on my 50's style strat project. She's been assembled for a while but am just getting to posting it now. Looking to get a new nut to... any recommendations?

Serious power with this one. A hair over 11k turns of 42 IIRC. Reads 8.4k. Flat A5 magnets oriented north up. Cloth leads, wax potted ready to go. Pictures upon request. Can't load pics on here from my phones camera because they are too big so I can email them. $30 shipped.

Gonna look at one tomorrow and thought i'd seek guidance from you knowledgeable people. Never heard of them and I came up with zilch trying to narrow down what model it is... Blue trans finish, quilted maple top that is probably a veneer, one Isis bird inlay on the 12th fret, master volume and...

Two humbucker coils I wound. Bobbins are creme butyrate and Gibson spaced so 49.2mm. Plain enamel wire, 5564 turns on the screw coil, 5436 turns on the slug coil. Screw reads 4.33k and slug reads 4.31k. $35 shipped for both. I have some screws and slugs from a duncan designed humbucker i'll...

Just scored a strat neck on ebay as a gift for my father. It's one piece Brazilian Morado or as i'm seeing online most people just call it Pau Ferro... Anyway it has an oil finish. I've never had an oil finished neck or a neck of this wood... so I'm not sure what to tell him when it comes to...

Found a 90-91 MIJ Charvel ST custom on craigslist. Not much info online so I figured i'd turn to you guys! Finish is a see through tobacco brown color. 4 single sized humbuckers, staggered tuners. Anyway I can get the thing for $125. What say you? Turn and run? Buy it and run? I don't know a...

Re: can you id this tele pickup? The darker windings are because of the different insulation coating on the wire. The dark brown or purple being PE or plain enamel. Used on the very first broadcaster pups then in 65 when CBS bought fender they switched to it until the early 80's. It was also...

Just like the title says! Wound these myself but i've got too many pickups and not enough room or money to spare... asking $60 for the set. Can't remember the DC readings exactly but they should read somewhere around mid to high 5k range. Pretty much just vintage strat tone. Non RWRP middle. A5...

Re: Pickups! tele! strat! Bump for pics! 12.5k tele pup is on the left

Hey all! Need to make some room so stuff' s gotta go! Set of grey bottom strat pickups, A5 magnets with vintage bevel and stagger, cloth leads, non RWRP middle. Bridge 6k, mid 5.9k, neck 5.7k. Straight up, no nonsense strat tone. $60 shipped. Another set of grey bottoms like above just...

Figured I'd post in case anyone in the Portland Oregon area may be interested. Good deal! I'd get it myself if it wasn't a 2 hour drive. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/msg/5219084515.html

Got in some 1954 tele pickups for repair from my uncle! The bridge could not be saved with surgery unfortunately. So it needs a rewind... There was some solder that was dropped in the hole where the wax gets in and it melted the coil wires together. Both the start and end coils were gone also...

One is a loaded red squier affinity, so it's a thin body, but should be alder. Comes with electronics, bridge etc. Add a neck and you're ready to go. $40 plus actual shipping One is a full thickness starcaster body. I think it's called cherry burst. Has a flame maple top. Has it's share of...
