There was another guitar show this weekend here in The Chicago area. So
I had to go check it out. Looking for the beat up strat or something for a project guitar. I see a couple of beat up Rhoads (japanes) a concept RR 94 and a Rhoads with e trem may have been korean i didnt pay too much attention to it cus it just wasnt what i was looking for at the time. So i move on. I find a hot pink Charvel script logo, strat body real floyd rose recessed cavity for trem , Hum and and angled neck single. Both pups being Jackson logoed. and look original. Of course it has the fort worth neck plate. Rose wood board and no fret wear that i can see. The strings are old and dead. They look like they may be the original strings too.
Oh and a three way blade switch. The neck is dead straight and no buzz. Plus the floyd looks in decent shape just needs some tlc as the whole guitar does. Typical crusty fret syndrom. I havnt pulled it apart yet but it looks like the trem posts have been redrilled and then put back together. Im hoping the posts are just pushed down some into the wood. The guitar seems to be intonated right and plays in tune all the way up the neck as it is. So im really hoping for the best with that. Or im fillin and redrillin. The neck is pretty well either sanded or just worn from play on the back of the neck. Which is odd cus the frets are great.
But i dont know what this bad boy is. Im thinking a 275 but i thought those were dinky bodies. This is a strat body with a H//s config and a 3 way blade.
i also saw a killer Jackson EVH. It was a B/W paint job with t maple boarded Jackson neck. Schaller trem and an incredable sounding duncan pup.
It sounded like a custom custom but a bit hotter. Maybe it was the age. The guitar was in excellent condition. The neck has typical play dirt on it as its a raw neck. But i was told its one of 2 made. the seriel is 6227 with a san dimas plate. so im thinking early 90's cus of the schaller trem. but i could be off. If these were made for EVH would they have seriel numbers? They wanted 3500.00 for this thing. Although it did sound amaizing and played really well. I still think its a bit high.
I alsosaw a Kramer Night swan with a lightning graphic on it. All orginal but they wanted 1500.00 for a japanese guitar. I ws like WTF? its japanese?.. and it wasnt even a hand painted graphic like my Jackson was. Yilkes Ya gotta love the 80s guitar market in minnesota. LOL. The night swan and the EVh were from minneapolis. but i did pick up the pink charvel for 175.00 in hopes its in better condition than it looks. And i hagled the guy for a case.
I have pics of the EVH ut my camera is recharging at the moment so as soon as its doen ill post them and get pics of the pink thing.
Any ideas on what the pink thing is would br great.
