$160.00 !! It`s a 1965 Fender jaguar , I also got a small suitcase full of guitar parts which included the original pickups and bridge, along with a pair of early gibson t-top pickups. I got a nice surprise when I opened the compartment in the case, four Mullard long plate ecc83`s two black plate RCA 12ax7`s two raytheon 12at7`s and the westinghouse boxes had two made in Germany Telefunken smoothplates in them! I also paid $100.00 for a 5 gallon bucket full of old output and power transformers, and a laundry basket full of mixed tubes. My wife was not nearly as thrilled as I was, her only comment was, "where are you going to put all of that?" so I thought I would share my joy with Y`all.

the case alone is probably worth more than you paid

the rest is cream ... the tubes would likely retail for $300+

congrats

Who's estate was this? Leo's?

That's a great ax, at pretty much any price. You downright STOLE it. And with the money you saved, you need to go find a vintage amp to put those tubes in!!

I havn`t gotten very many good breaks in life, but every dog gets his days, I guess this was one of mine! The telefunken ECC83`s are going in V1 & V2 of my Mesa MKIIc, and the Mullards will be put in my `79 JMP 2204, I have started to sort through the bin of mixed tubes, and have found some used Mullard and amperex 12ax7`s along with a nice new old pair of RCA black plate 6l6GC tubes for my Mesa, the boxes are taped together with "match" written on the tape. I will post more about the tubes and transformers in the amplifier forums.

dude tell your wife that you can sell the guitar for over 2 grand and see how excited she gets about your find after that!
