SOLD Vintage Lemon Drop

imalrightjack

Vintage V100 'Lemon Drop' (Peter Green tribute model) with padded gig bag.

The only reason I'm selling is that, as usual, I pick up a new toy but end up going back to an older guitar and the new one sits in the corner gathering dust. Plus, the new amp quest is back on.

Based in Carlisle, Cumbria area.  Not willing to post unless you can advise on a reliable courier who will insure a guitar without a hard case.

If it looks a bit battered, it's because it's supposed to! In full working order with a very nice neck and easily playable.

Nice buy that for someone.

How much mate?

IanSavage

Fuck, I've got a pair of aged Iron Gears that would go in that beautifully. I too must ask 'how much'?

Originally listed at £160 iirc, price now edited out

I listed on EBay at the weekend but would remove it for the right offer.

IanSavage

I'd find a way of getting that to me (courier at my risk if you've got a box for it, or I could have a half-day adventure out) for £160...

imalrightjack

If you want to come and collect in Carlisle, I'll sell it for £160. But I'd need to know soon as I'm liable to get charged 10% in fees by EBay. Happy to let it run as there are lots of watchers.

IanSavage

Yeah, they tend to go for around the £200 mark on eBay but once you've taken out fees...I'll have a look at when I might have time to take a day-trip. Consider me not going for it unless I drop you a very excited PM though, got rail vouchers to use but I'm guessing Carlisle and back will be pricey.

imalrightjack

Where are you at?

blueskunk

Yeah Jon , I'm sure it was about that price - thats why it stood out as a good buy

Pickups are good irrc specially that out of phase tone.

IanSavage

I'm in Birmingham mate.

hobbio

I'll step back from this then. £160 is a great price but I'll struggle to get up to Carlisle any time soon. GLWTS!

imalrightjack

I would be happy to post.

IanSavage

Why'd you have to go and do that? I'll gauge potential interest on my Vintage Goldtop tonight, got a one-in-one-out policy at the minute...

hobbio

@IanSavage you have a gold top V100? I might be tempted, PM me with your asking price and I'll give you a very quick yes or no. I'm quite close to you so a deal can be done fairly quickly.

Any ideas how much the postage would be?

I have mate - it's the older bolt-on neck version though. Has the Wilkinson P100-alikes in it still (although without the logo on the cover) and still sounds tremendous; would let it go for £120 if you're close enough. I'll even throw in the super-tacky well-classy pinup girl decal that's gone on it

imalrightjack

I'd say around £25.

hobbio

@IanSavage I've got this irrational thing against bolt-on LP copies, even if they're awesome so I'll have to pass. Sorry!

IanSavage

No worries - to be honest what I SHOULD be doing is selling on the Iron Gears rather than trying to find a guitar to put them into, but they do look the bollocks and I'm a big fan of the Dirty Torque / Blues Engine combo having heard it in other peoples' Lesters.
