Any lucky deals lately?

Wicked deal. I got my esp ec1000 a few years back on a sweet gumtree deal. Basically an army guy from Sydney had 6 months leave so went to brissy to spend time with family. Got the esp up there for something to play as his main guitars were back home. After the 6 months he gave it to a mate who got deployed not long after. When he came back he got himself a vintage Tele and a les Paul so didn't have any use for the esp. An hour drive and $275 later she was mine. Still had the plastic protective sheets on the cavity covers. Stoked.

good score Andrew, there's some bargains to be had on gumtree. Its the case of right timing

That's it. Unfortunately up here the only stuff to go up on gumtree is farming supplies. Can't shred a wire fence. Matter of fact I can't shred anyway haha

Speaking of Gumtree bargains - I'll be picking up a 1987 MIJ strat neck this Wednesday for...

$30

good deal Nick, do you know what condition it's in ?

[Nickosaurus]

It's not too bad. A bit of wear and tear but it's going to be going on a 60s style paisley strat. Will post as I get closer to getting all the components together. For the price though I don't really care haha. $30 is worth the attempt on a vintage neck I think. :P

sounds good Nick, a worn neck will look cool on a 60's paisley strat anyway

Just drove an hour out to his place. Knocked/rang his phone/rang his mobile no answer. Got a text about 10 minutes later that he sold it. I even text him this morning at 9 letting him know I was coming. Absolutely livid right now.
