    New Member + Model 1 Pawnshop Score

    Hey everyone! I'm glad to be here. I thought you guys might enjoy this.

    This is my Model 1. I found it last summer hanging in a pawnshop for $70. It was covered in terrible stickers and the nut had come loose. I bought it, took it home, cleaned it up, and it became my #1 for the rest of the summer. When I bought it, they gave me a gigbag. I went back a few months later and asked if by any chance they still had the HSC lying around in the back. The next time I was in there, the guy handed me the empty case for no extra charge. I couldn't believe it.

    So here she is.

        You must have done something very good in the past for that kind of Karma to come back around to you!

        Very nice indeed!

            Shit the chainsaw case alone is worth almost $70. Nice photos, btw.

                Welcome to the board! You practically stole that guitar at that price.

                    Nah... I only believe in Karma when it's good.

                      I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

                        What pickup you got in there?

                          Just the stock J90c without the cover. I think it looks great that way. I like the pickup. It's got a unique sound that works well with my band
