Memphis Belle guitar

How could I not buy this for $50.

Cool, what is it?

Is that a neck thru? I like it.

[fett]

It appears to have been made in the "70's based on what I learned about the pups. It looks way better live.

Check out all the pics. It's built like and old Hobie skateborad. It's a bolt-on neck. When I rotated the pics it made it look thinner that it really is. It's just cool.

Here's a pic of the guts. The control cover is made of wood.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: I see Budman in my future.

Ok I found the other pic that is cool how does it sound?Look like Gotoh pickups I'll bet they kick ass.

I will string it up later and let you know. Rail pups. How good does that get?:ROTF: I had to remount one and that casing is metal. A piece of junk? I think not.

my brother has a memphis strat, the neck is awesome, hands down one of the best feeling necks. but it is in need of a refret.

I has a beefy brass nut.

I just strung it up and it screams. The neck pup is hotter than hell. The bridge pup is splitable and the spilt switch isn't working. It's only doing half speed. The neck is beefy and fast. This is the best $50 I have spent in awhile. No refret here. They don't look like they have been used. A fret marker is missing, but I can live with that. Here's a better pic of the body. Mahogany and maple.

Fret markers..... who needs all of them anyway?

Not me. I only need the 5th to tune my guitars to "fett standard"

I know I get all hyped every time I buy a cheap guitar. But, this one takes the cake. All 80+ of my electrics don't even come close to this one. This is, without a doubt, the best guitar I own. If you ever see one like it get it.

I love cheap guitars.
