Here’s the video I did with it.
It used to be a sub-1k guitar even without the neck crack, but I’m not sure about pandemic pricing.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

I may rethink my decision to wait, mainly because I like the colour on this neck repaired Classic.
Is anyone available to pickup in Mount Roskil
And arrange courier to CHCH?

I can pickup and ship for you, if you're not in a hurry. As I'm not the most reliable of shippers...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Hey Reg, I can help too. I can check it out if you like but like his mate says, it's probably wiring or scratchy pots.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Seems likely it will just need some elec cleaner sprayed into the pots, in my experience pickups are either working or completely dead!

I hadn’t seen that one actually but seems a lot for a Classic doesn’t it? They are $3799 new at Rockshop
And they had 15% off last week which makes this almost new price? Or are there different grades?
S/H prices across the board have been high in the last year

No idea about prices, sorry. I just thought it looked reasonably nice.

Your not wrong! It is nice. For some reason it didn’t show up on my Facebook feed either, so I may not have seen it otherwise.

That one with the neck repair looks like good buying at $2k.
