Help Help with a trade!!

[Model 6 Matt]

ok, ive been offered for my vetta head and longboard 2 options

#1 ESP M-II with Duncan invaders and maple board, good condition and a 80's BC Rich Warlock neck thru like http://cgi.ebay.com/08-BC-RICH-HANDM...QQcmdZViewItem
that one but non reverse headstock.

OR

#2 1999 USA strat Plus guitar with SD JB bridge and hotrails neck and middle with extra pup's (not sure what the extras are yet), the BC Rich Warlock, and as a bonus a BC Rich Iron Bird and Gunslinger project guitars to do up and sell or keep etc, i think they are body and necks only, no hardware.

So what would you do?

I'll be without an amp, so i wanted to sell one and keep one, im eyeing the strat to do up and sell the warlock but unsure.

oh and i forgot to add that he could swap either guitar for a rare ibanez RG 565. havent heard much about these but google said 1 hum 1 sc hotrail in neck, looks good but

Thanks

Personally, I'd keep the vetta.
If you are gassing for more guitars (and don't forget about what amp you'll need), then option 1 would be my choice. But I would want to check out the BC Rich closely.
Can't say I know much about the MII. The Strat Plus is "meh".

updated, the strat comes with the neck thru warlock too, forgot to mention that

Are you going to be able to play the guitars in question?
Unless the price (or trade) is really good, I get edgy about
getting used guitars without being able to play them.

[Model 6 Matt]

yes i'll be able to play them

If it's an early -mid 80's USA Warlock those guitar are doing nothing but going up in price you might want to keep that and sell the Strat if you do the deal.

[Model 6 Matt]

yea, its an 80's model, duno about usa but im guessing so, i'll get more info.

So ESP not worth too much, retail for $2300 here :O

[jtr]

Just looking at Ebay over here and your amp and board go $1000-$1100 range?

[j2379]

check the warlock sounds like a u series. if it has that headstock but non reverse check the serial if it starts with UO its an import built to US specs with US hardware. if its got a 5 digit #s only then its US made & worth trading for.

[JerEvil]

Option1. The ESP or BC Rich will probably fund a better amp than the strat

[Model 6 Matt]

found out its a jap made to US specs, so ball park price??

thanks all

[Model 6 Matt]

anyone? where could i get more info for the guitar with the UO serial?
