Just nabbed Soloist J0762 (completed June 17, 1985) and picked it up today. I was worried that I paid too much, but wow, she's in beautiful shape and almost makes *me* feel 21 again.

Originally posted by metalbootsWell I am glad that it was someone Kewl that beat me on this one (which I had been bidding on all week; I did not expect to loose out- oh well). Yeah, the seller was really kewl to me in answering a few questions - it has a missing truss rod cover - and I had already located an exact replacement.
If this one hadn't been local to me, I might have let it go, but I've been outbid on a couple of other Dimas Soloists in the last several months, and I've been jonesing for one pretty hard. Several dual-humbucker ones have been auctioned off lately, and I was bummed because I didn't have the cash.
I'm actually a bit surprised that this one didn't get more action, since you don't see that many white ones come up on eBay. We were the only two bidders. If it had had a Floyd, I suspect it would have fetched at least $1500.
BTW, the truss rod covers on San Dimases are very inconsistent. Some have the small notched one that only screws in at the top, while others have the regular three-screw version that actually requires removal of the string-lock in order to remove for truss-rod adjustment. This one appears to have had the notched version, since there are two 'washers' below the string lock to raise it up to the correct height. The inconsistencies are part of what make Dimases enjoyable. You can never be quite sure what you're going to get. I think they just used whatever parts they had on hand for stuff like that and made up the rules as they went along.Last edited by pro-fusion; 07-03-2006, 12:10 PM.

Very nice Dimas. I am a fan of white guitars myself. Yours is a real beauty.Scott
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
