San Dimas prices?

Re: San Dimas prices?

Ok thanx. I concider GMW or buying SD charvel parts from ebay and putting them together. Also there is a chance I'm in the US next year so I start wisiting the pawnshops.

And RR05xx, my attitude wasn't about casualness, 83SanDimas asked what kind of a guitar it should be, Tommy's strathead was the first thing that came to my mind. I made that example how the guitar should look not what's the story behind it.

If you ditch the strat head and go with the pointy you will get that early SD vibe, a guitar that probably plays as well as or better than a strathead. Some of the 83 Charvels with pointed headstocks are great guitars and can be had for a grand or less. JMO Dana

You're looking at $2000 and up for almost any strathead. Mostly up.

Maybe if you're lucky or know someone that owes you a favor, or for parts-pieces... perhaps a POS that doesn't play worth a damn.

For anything half-decent, original, and a good player... I'd say starting at an easy $3000... and you'll probably be looking for a while.

Re: San Dimas prices?

Endrik, considering that you´re in Europe, yau may want to take a look into the ´90 "Distributor Reissue" and ´91 Limited Edition Stratheads... they´re fairly close to the SDs (the neck on mine is a carbon copy of the one legit Strathead I´ve touched), and command less $$ because of the Jackson plate... All rare custom Shop axes, though, and I think both runs together were 250 axes total (75 red/ 75 Blue of the first and 100 of the Lim Ed.s IIRC) so they may end up going a similar route in the future [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Don't waste your time trying to decide between a pointy or a strathead. What you need is a SHARKHEAD

Re: San Dimas prices?

Another alternative that's a lot cheaper is to look for early Jackson strat bolt ons. San Dimas plated (even if Ontario built).
I have one and the neck on it is so close to my old charvel (#2803)that it's a monstor of a player. You can pick one of these up for between $5-800. If they have the jackson trem, swap it out (I did this to mine) and you're good to go.
Now this is if you are just looking for a "real" killer player.
Of course it doesn't have the "Strathead" aura but you'l have a kick ass playing guitar!

Re: San Dimas prices?

I second that. Nick's Jackson is killer in fit and function.

Re: San Dimas prices?

Nick your axe looks killer, I definetly want one of those early Jacksons, but I also want to have at least 1 strathead superstrat.
