An original Kahler tremolo there!
It's a lovely guitar and that WAS an absolute bargain............but it's not as Wow as the Red Jackson.
Not to me anyway.
My Classic '60's Strat brand new for £429 was also a deal.
The only other deal I got was a Peavey Bravo valve amp at a boot sale for a tenner.
When I said I would take it, the young assistant disappeared and came back with a brand new, boxed item and duly rang it through the till at the s/h price.
I couldn't get out the door quick enough.
Don't get many of those kinds of bargains!
But in a different way, my Burny 80's LP was (I think) £525 on ebay with 50's wiring, bumblebee caps and pair of OX4 pickups - so a good £250+ worth of upgrades on it. I bought it untried, and a friend picked it up for me.
That guitar is absolutely irreplaceable. It just feels right and couldn't imagine any other guitar at any price usurping it. So whilst the price may not sound like a mega-bargain, I think it's the best value for money I've had out of a guitar.

My black 1972 Tele. When it arrived from New York it was all original bar a DiMarzio Dual Sound in the neck postion, a black pickguard and a mini toggle switch between the pickups - yes, it was (still is) battered but it cost me £175 *landed*. Still got that...
A GT100 for £130?
That's my main effects unit.
That really is an absolute steal given what that unit has to offer.
Really well done.
The Vintage telecaster I got for £40 easily falls into that category too.
Hofner Verythin, 62/63 I think - £50

The MIK one? I still see them for £250 a few times a year
Not only a massive bargain apropos its normal retail price, but a Crime Of The Century-level bargainous steal on the Bang For Buck scale.
