Big Time Fundraiser. You can probably figure out why if you look in the other sections of the forum. More pix available by request...prices don't include shipping. Here we go...:
Epiphone Wildkat: $450 with case
Stock Epiphone P90's...pots, jack, switch and all the other things you always hear about being crap on Epiphones all work great. Gets a great jazzy clean sound with a LOUD acoustic tone...i mostly use it for White Stripes-type garagey fuzz tones or Beatles licks. Neck is very straight with lower action than my 87 Gibson Les Paul Custom...currently set-up with .010's. Hardshell case is included with this one, tho it has definitely seen better days as the furry lining has worn off parts of the neck support and the foam is flaking off into the case. It still works fine but it could use some upholstery...the guitar itself is played but nearly flawless, tho the arm on the Bigsby is a bit loose. I bought it because it's the best Epiphone I've ever played.
Fender Lite Ash Telecaster: $600 with gigbag that it did not even come with (because i love you)
Stock Duncan Alnico 2 single coils...3-piece ash body, 1-piece neck with a ton of birdseye. Iit's everything i like in a Tele, down to the 3-saddle brass bridge and ash body. Low action and set-up with Cleartone .011-.056 strings for beefy tone. I haven't noticed any dings or nicks but it's probably got a little bit of pick scratch cuz i'm a heavy strummer...then again i haven't played it much since i bought it. Throwing in a Fender Deluxe gig bag cuz it should have a home...preferably somebody who can use a Tele for what it's for instead of constantly trying to make it sound more like a Les Paul.
Fender Jaguar HH: $700 stock...$800 as pictured
The shorter-scale neck, stoptail / tune-o-matic set-up and Duncan Custom Shop pickups have made this my favorite Fender...probably cuz it's really close to a Gibson :smokin: Bought it in nearly mint condition, put a little scratch in the bottom side and installed a Custom Shop Iommi (or 'El Diablo' if you love Anthrax) humbucker in the bridge with a Shop Floor Custom Phat Cat in the neck...it's a bridge-position Phat Cat wound cooler like a neck-position Phat Cat would be. So yeah...it's a Fender Jaguar but it gets tones that make you think of Black Sabbath and Master Iommi's SGs.
Those pickups were expensive so they make the guitar more expensive...sorry, but the Iommi alone sells for $100 so i'm basically throwing in the Phat Cat at that point. I'll even make sure you get the original humbuckers so that nobody cries about it.
Warmoth Strat: $300
I know the deal with Warmoths so I won't be offended if you hit me up for half and / or part(s) of this thing. It's a two-piece alder body, hardtail bridge, with a big fat one-piece maple boat neck and compound-radius rosewood board with vintage frets. Vintage-style truss rod and rear-routed for humbuckers and a control cavity. This was the test bed guitar that eventually lead me to conclude that it would be easier to get a Gibson guitar than it is to make a Strat sound like a Gibson. That said, it always sounded like a great Strat with humbuckers -- aggressive and chunky and articulate. It drove me crazy because regardless of the pickups it always sounded kind of 80's metal to me, which i guess would make it awesome for somebody who likes 80's metal. It has a cool mash-up of vintage and modern features with the fat neck and li'l frets but a fretboard that gets flatter as you move up...will probably ship with some Duncan Designed or Fender humbuckers.

I almost never step on most of these. PM me offers or questions, i'll break 'em down for you and we can go from there. I don't wanna break 'em all down in one thread.
Thanks for your interest guys! Let me know if you're close but not quite there cuz I'm a reasonable man..!
