syxxstring Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 alright years of pawn shop scrounging has finally started to pay off.... scored a Digitech Wh-1(whammy) last night for $100. Its sooo cool, and valued crazy on ebay. Ill have to play with a reissue to see if its worth picking up a reissue and selling. other than that it was my yamaha drop 6 baratone(currently taking a pit stop for a rewire/repaint) anyways whats your best pawn shop/yard sale score.

DCord Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Some of you know that my #1 guitar is a strat with a '56 neck (dated 4-56 on the heel). What no one knew, up until now, is that I purchased the neck at an estate auction for the extravagant sum of (gasp) $100. That's not a misprint. I win. ~d~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horstausmforst Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hmm.. a friend of mine found an Ibanez Roadstar II with dimarzio PUs in the trash container behind his house. That's exactly a $0,00 investment. My best score would be the '93 Ibanez aanj radius for $166. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
