There is the chance that the "must currently be owned" might cross out a lot of scores that have gone on to be money makers after owned and then sold. I have a couple worth WAY more than I paid for them. Not ready to sell any of those, yet. :headbang:


I'm sure when Star sells eventually I will get more than the $175 I originally paid but have spent that about 4 times on it already since. When it gets back from Ben I bet it will be really ready to RAWK!!!

My only other one has a replacement(scalloped) neck,so I guess it qualifies as a Parts-O...

edit:
FWIW,did score a VS-100 like Aceman's for about $150...

Dudn't really apply,just throwin' it out there...

I'm throwing down in this one.

Dean DOA Cadillac 2003 Silverburst



Every year Dean guitars usually does a special guitar for the DOA members. I had been GASing hard for a Silverburst and giving a particulalr well known Dean board member grief because he had two and I had none. Well, I walked into a pawn shop nearby just making the usual rounds just before New Years 2012 and there, hanging, was a Silverbirst DOA Limited edition model! (#18 of like 50 or so). Nearly 10 years old and super clean. And not only that, but the original bridge pup had been replaced with a Duncan! I talked the guy down to $260 for the guitar and a cheap gig bag. I mean, it wasn't the original pup, you know... My Birthday was coming up three weeks later and DOA in another month! The pup was a JB (now a JB8). PLayed Detroit Rock City on it that year.

BTMN can confirm. Threads are on the Dean board of me running smack at Bradworld for hoarding Silverbursts. Bite me @$$clown. Why am I defending myself to you?

I was hoping for more pawn shop guitars I fiure I could bump this thread with some pron and a ebay find that isn't a guitar.

Found this doing a uncommon search. It was listed as "80's Flod Ros" yah not the best spelling, maybe the seller was in a hurry. I ended up with a Floyd Rose for $64 lol The guitar it went on:

Unfortunately, if you created a topic to who has LOST more stuff to a pawn shop, Id own it hands down. The best score I had is my 1988 Japanese Squier Statocaster that I scored for $139. She was all stock when I got her and the pups were crummy and she had a single ply white pickguard. On the positive, she plays amazing, and it came with a fender branded Kahler trem and locking nut. Ive upgraded with dunlop straplocks, a better guard and Bill Lawrence Keystone pickups.
Here she is: (black one)
