    The Dangers of your Local Pawn Shop

    Wasn't planning on it, don't need it, but somehow I ended up with it. Not easy sneaking this in the house either.

    I have a couple of pawn shop Strats & an acoustic dreadnought, nothing over $90AU, great project guitars.

    Nice catch right there, a guitar is a bit easier to get past the minister of war and finance than the race car I brought home the other week, Fisher Fury if you wish to google ( because just one isn't enough )

    Back in the 1960s I got my L Series PBass and S2 Fender VI from Elliots pawn shop in Sydney, both the pawn shop and guitars are long gone

    Yes that is a bit of a challenge. The Triumph Daytona, and XR8 ute were a similar conundrum. Pay back was a bit expensive too, but worth it.

    Very nice!
    Hope you got a good deal on it. G&L are great guitars. I had a Tribute Series S-500 that is still a regretted sale...

    I really like the Leo's PTB system, and I'm going to wire my current (but stalled) strat build with it. I also like the "Dual Fulcrum" vibrato on those.
    I find it funny that when George & Leo started G&L, they actually started properly calling it vibrato instead of tremolo (which it's not). The whole tremolo thing is one of my pet peeves...

    Very nice find. I have friends who go mad for G+Ls but I've never yet tried one myself. Something I need to remedy.

    I have an G&L ASAT bass...found it in a small music store. Never held a bass that felt better in my hand. I can understand how it got home with you. Couldn't put mine down either.

    I does feel just right. 8 years old and not a mark on it, think its lived in its case most if not all of its life.
