FT: DBZ Bird of Prey

[Sphere]

SOLD

I'd rate the condition at 9.5, all points are in tact. The pickup ring for the neck has a crack, but I can send a new one with it, as well as the fitted hardshell case.

Trade value is $700 I'm open to just about anything, but hard tails get first priority, and also interested in high gain tube amps. You don't get much more metal than this guitar.

There's not a whole lot of these out in the wild, I believe it was made for one year.

Specs:
*Set Neck/25.5” / 24 Frets
*Mahogany Body
*Mahogany Neck
*Rosewood board
*EMG 81/85
*Grover Tuners
*Original Floyd Rose

Next time you take pictures don't wear a t-shirt with a toilet on it.

It's actually pretty sweet, I'm just too paranoid in my small practice space that I'll damage the points and shoot the value.

Played one of these at St. Johns Music (there's quite a few of them in Canada) and its really nice people !!! I unfortunately dont have money or anything to trade for it, but this is my word to the potential buyer/trader. Those guitars are awesome, you will NOT regret it ! The lower horn sits perfectly and is very comfortable, the neck is nice too !

Is the top painted or is that the actual wood grain showing?

It's painted.

Thanks StratFreak, one of the things that really surprised me as well was the balance, I thought for sure it was going to be diving forward, fortunately, that's not the case.

No problem man ! I played a flat black one and a Sepulchre one and they were both awesome ! Never seen them before playing them in my local store, St. Johns Music.

Re: FT: DBZ Bird of Prey

How much are those going for? and have you seen one the same color as mine?

This was almost $1050 in 2009, and the model I have -Radioactive appears to be the hardest to locate since they don't make them anymore. DBZ went to the Birds of Prey 2, which uses DBZ pups and a much cheaper licensed Floyd, not original.

A used Radioactive, in the same condition as mine just sold on the 9th for $890, that's why I'm curious how much they go for and if you've seen the same color as mine.

Re: FT: DBZ Bird of Prey

The flat black was 1130$, I dont know why but the number stuck with me, as for the Sepulchre, im not sure, it was sold already and reserved for the person in the store. Sorry

That's perfect, prices are generally the same up north. I appreciate it.

I'm guessing you're from Canada since the music store you were at are there.
