Jackson pro stealth XL

[BayRocker]

Sounds like a nice score to me...and not even close to resurrecting from the dead. Strings and setup, that's standard even with brand new guitars. Perhaps I'm missing something? I wouldn't even consider this a project.

Pawn shops ALWAYS have stuff like that. The people there don't know about guitars (Or guns, or watches or half the shit they sell). You can't go into a pawn shop and expect the guitars to be set up properly, have all their parts or be in 100% working order. You have to check all of those things yourself.

As a result of that though, sometimes you get a great deal that needs a little bit of work. Other than some of the wiring being off and needed to get some lock nuts this is all very standard work needed for a guitar.

1)needs volume and tone knobds
2)needs middle pup resoldered to work
3)needs low profile black jackson floyd string lock lock
4)needs black nuts and screws
5)needs back plates

btw
dealing with pawn shops is a pain in the ass
they are bitches and assholes and if u do not fight for a decent price you WILL get burned

Not trying to be rude at all but that is very mild to get a nice guitar going, and for a low price
Like it was stated before strings and a setup are standard even for new guitars!

appreciate all your guys input ...am actually gonna keep it for awhile. hoestly used to do this all the time as far as fixing up run down pawn shop specials and i agree that this was a good rare find ....glad i had most of the parts needed to get it to where it is now

was i testy with lady ....you betcha,but a little constructive criticism from here set me straight and thaank y'all for that


i do have a nice score but its mid terms and i work close to full time so looks like this weekend is when i might have a chance to finish up....to be honest 3 years ago setting up a floyd was nothing ...
ty again

Well congrats on a good score anyway, it looks great!

[Hellbat]

Are those ash? That looks like a real nice fiddle there. Just consider the fact that you might have rescued it from some 14 year old Zakk Wylde fan that wants to hammer bottle caps into the finish.
