FS Epiphone 335. Potential project guitar ON HOLD

benmurray85

Hi, I've been toying with selling this for a while as it just does not get any use anymore and I need to raise some cash.

I have a blonde Epiphone 335 that I bought back in 2005 (approx) Comes with original hardcase BUT it needs a bit of care and attention to get it back into shape. Not many massive issues but the main points are as follows;

• No sound when pickup selector is in the bridge pickup setting. Pretty sure this is an issue with the selector switch rather than the pickup
• Lots of body wear/damage. Nothing major, just lots of dings and knocks. Just needs a polish up and a bit of guitar cleaner 
• Frets need a good clean
• For the past 5-6 years it has had a set of 13's on it and has been largely unplayed so may require some truss rod attention? But will definately need restringing and some form or set up.  

I will gladly upload some images but thought that I would guage opinion on whether anyone would be interested in purchasing beforehand. I used to gig this guitar quite regular and it was always a good player and honestly sounded great. It just needs someone to put a bit of time and knowledge into sorting it out, unfortunately I have neither!

If anyone is interested I am based in Burnley, East Lancashire. Happy to meet within maybe a 30 mile-ish radius or it can be collected from my home address. I will not ship, even though its knackered I'd rather it not get trashed or lost!

Say £150 as a guide price but please feel free to point me in the right direction if I'm miles out!

It will be one of those cheap, nasty efforts with the moving parts enclosed in a metal box.

Please yerself. 

Perhaps, I should have expressed myself monosyllabically, like H7 and paul111s?

Tbh I’d settle for civil regardless of syllable count, I live in hope....
