New used hollow-body guitar day. I have been watching this one on Craigslist for a month. It's a blonde Oscar Schmidt OE40N in near perfect condition. There's only a few flaws in the finish and the gold plating on the humbuckers are slightly tarnished. I will likely replace the pickguard, adjustable bridge, and pickups. The previous owner said he replaced the electronics I can't verify that.

I put a Gibson 490T with a RCOU A5 in the bridge and it sounds glorious. I'm going to replace the pickguard with a tort pickguard, amber knobs, and replace the rosewood bridge with an adjustable bridge. At $175 I can afford a few upgrades.

That was $175??!! NIce!

I put a GFS Deluxe style mini-humbucker in the neck and that sounds pretty good. I will need to get an adapter plate and will probably add a .033 bass trap on the hot lead to keep it from being too muddy. I'm not wild about the ceramic magnet in the pickup but it still sounds pretty good.

I'm thinking more Sun Volt and Reverend Horton Heat.
