Car boot swag

OilCityPickups

The best car boot swag I ever picked up was a Shergold Marathon bass for £20 ... complete and very playable, but with horrible punk slogans carved into it's top (with a penknife probably). I stripped the guitar and put a book matched burl olive wood veneer on the front ... then sprayed it as a burst to cover the edges. Ended up selling it ... but actually regret getting rid of it ... lovely neck.

Be careful, this is how HarrySeven got started, and now look at him, a Channel 4 documentary waiting to happen...

Cheek!

A Harry Seven YouTube channel would be fantastic! I’d definitely be a subscriber.

It would be really interesting to see some of your collection @HarrySeven ;

I will come work as an archivist for you in return for tea, jammie dodgers and a library style loaning system.

Have you not seen hoarders where they find a cat they had lost 3 months ago squashed flat by fallen boxes...

ten years ago i picked up from hemel hempsted market a beaten up old squire strat for £15. i didnt know much about them but i knew you could buy cheap squire sets with amps new for about £90.  Not until my knowlegable friend saw it and said it was a japanese one probably from the 80s, maybe worth 300/400 . i kept it for a few years, it was a decent guitar but eventually sold it for 200 i think

I rescued a" pre law "suit style Les Paul bolt on  for a fiver up the tip ..Probably Avon .Usual string and tuner gone .The bonus was it came with a Morley Power Wah which after a new bulb sold for a tidy sum .The LP is OK up to and including the twelfth fret but gets a bit iffy after that as a previous occupant filed all the upper frets down a bit too much to lower the action .Its not worth a fret job .I did get a Squier SE off Gumtree for 20  .Usual string missing but very playable .

Nice score and kind of quirky looking! I picked up a Korean made Epiphone SG for £10 a few years ago and I still love it.

I still have a 1976 EHX Small Stone I got for £2 at a boot sale 10 years ago.

Bloke said it didn't work, he was wrong, I took it home, plugged it in and all good.

It's been through a bit of shit since then and doesn't at the moment, but it should be back again soon.

Most of my boot sale bargains have been moved on but I still have a few. Among them are an original early 60s Watkins Copikat,(£25), a 1980s Japanese Vox Vox Bass,(£7.50), a  DeArmond M65 Guitar, (£7.50), a Peavey Bandit 65 amplifier,(£5.00) and an Epiphone Flying V which had been fitted with an aluminium scratch plate and a pair of USA made EMZ pickups, (£35). These are just the tip of the iceberg!
