So, back in my youth I was searching for a mahogany-bodied strat and came upon a used Model 88 at my buddy's guitar store. I bought it and had it custom painted (car paint, done by another friend), and added an EMG 89 pickup.
I ended up selling it to a buddy for... I don't remember how much, he doesn't either.
Now, I've discussed the idea of buying it back. Here's the condition:
1. It has the original tremolo (which doesn't stay in tune) still with the original "behind the nut" lock nut.
2. The custom paint is still pretty good. It was dropped on the tail and has a couple of chips near the jack plate, nothing I couldn't deal with.
3. There is an extra switch hole drilled in the face of the guitar; this was for an EMG boost switch, which isn't in the guitar anymore (I could still get the boost switch).
I don't want to rip my friend off, but I don't want to over-pay. I'd like to have it back, so what's a reasonable offer for this guitar?
I'm thinking maybe $300?
