    I thought about that too, but the grooves do not line up with the strings and there is no wear at all on the rails of the Lawrence pickup.

        J.C. Harrist great score!

        2 for 1 trip to the pawn shop.
        I think I am getting in the mood for another pawn shop hunt.

          I hate the bolted steel graphic but I'd also like to have an USA Rhoads for such price.

              Thanks for the MARY LOUISE Cash America codes. Next time I go there it will be interesting to see their markup of guitars.

              I'd love to make an offer above an items price that they will knowingly decline only for me to say well I know you only paid XXX dollars based on the code and see if they blink.

                      Thanks for the welcomes. I did buy them at a Cash America pawnshop, but there was no code on the tags.

                      I have them both set up now and the Charvel plays like a dream! The Rhoads plays well but needs some fretwork.

                            Great scores! We got crap at our local pawn shops. No scores like that. The last 2 that I seen were quite a while ago and overpriced. One was a Gibson explorer for $1199 no case. Can't remember the model year but in the 90's. No budging on the price either WTF ever! Second was a cool Jackson Kelley that I wish I had looked at closely. Never seen one like it before. Bolt on neck, green logo, kind of brown in color but hard to explain, made in the USA on the headstock, green pups etc. Just a cool guitar. That one was $1199 or $1299 I can't remember. No idea if it had a case or not. Went to see if it was still there about 8-9 months ago and gone!

                              You have to fequent pawn shops on a regular basis and get to know them then they end up asking you what something is worth.I always ask how much they have in it and then bump that a little so they make money.I know the codes the locals use around here and it does help.
                              Really? well screw Mark Twain.

                                I thought that bolted steel graphic was something new from only about 8
                                years ago? Its been around since the mid 80's? Great score!
                                I only see Old DiAngelico N.Yorkers, and such... not worth even playing
                                them.... :ROTF:
