It was in a case which had some mildew but guitar was perfect -needed a set-up and strings .
Doesn't get better than that.

Since have added a bigsby, mojo filtertron size p90s and oil in paper caps, it's a beast!
Oh and it cost £400 to start, which I reckon was a bargain. Now probably only worth 300 thanks to my changes -but man, this it ain't for sale.
I liked getting a Westone thunder 1a with a Washburn wonder bar trem fitted. Paid the standard rate for the guitar, it turned up in an original hardcase with the original hardware inside. The wonderbar came off after I had a good play with it. It was sold for more than I paid for the whole lot.
the westone obviously had a few extra screw holes, but went back together nicely

As he had no cab and lived in Basingstoke (I live in West London) it was hard to try it out before committing to buy but I knew most of my favourite metalcore bands used it and an old coursemate who plays in a lot of heavier bands told me its the amp for me so I took the plunge and said I'd take it. By the time I wanted to buy it was around £650 so nearly half the RRP. The amp had never been gigged and only used twice (still in its original box) so practically brand new that I got for nearly 50% of what it was worth! I still have it now and I honestly won't want to play through anything else.
They were made to Joe Knaggs' design by Godin in Canada a few years ago and they retailed for £1199 when they first came out. The former distributor apparently has a bunch in the warehouse they are trying to shed.
EDIT: because I'm getting a tonne of PMs - the original ones are sold out, but I was told by the vendor that there are likely more going up for sale soon, in a sunburst finish. Look for the seller 'knaggsdirect' on eBay.
P'med
Roland DEP-5 £21 (nothing wrong with it!)
Pair of Deltalab DL-4 digital delays £23. (One was an easy fix, the other wasn't, though I did get it working in the end).
Drawmer DS-201 £12 (it needed a switch re-soldering).
Boss SE-70 £6. Yes, six pounds. Ex- Mixmaster Morris and covered in silver, holographic plastic, all it needed was the backup battery fitting, and a new one was rattling around inside!
MXR Commande Series Phaser. £2. Took some buggering around to fix, but I got there in the end. Nice and swooshy.
A pair of Chord pedals (a chorus and a phaser) for £12. Took an evening to get the both working and both were surprisingly nice, even though the circuit boards looked like they had been built by a four year old. Which is probably true.
Carlsbro Minifex Chorus £16. A cheap and nasty plastic enclosure doesn't prepare you for the thick and gooey lushness from the SAD512 BBD chip. Needed the switch resoldering.
Lexicon Alex £10. Needed the DRAM chips replacing, and I have a shed-load of those.
There's plenty of other stuff that I've bought cheap over the years, when I think of it:
Yamaha CS60 £149. A huge, old analogue polysynth from 1976. Worth a fortune now.
ARP Omni Mk II analogue string synth £79.
Roland SH-09 analogue monosynth £99. Wish I still had it.
Indie ID400SM acoustic £149. This was their top of the line, all solid wood, hand-made limited run of 20, and I can only assume that the shop selling it had picked up a bunch of old stock when Indie Guitars closed down in the UK, and they had no idea what it was. Fucking amazing guitar.
Squier Precision Special £29 from Crack Converters. Had a sign on it saying "electrics may not work", and you know what, they don't if you try to re-solder using superglue and Blu Tac. A little work and some tarting up and it was a nice bass. It's currently in bits, being re-sprayed.
Boss PH-2 £27. Not stupidly cheap, but still a bargain.
Ibanez PH-7 £12.50.
Boss RBF-10 half rack flanger £16. Maybe my favourite flanger.
I said maybe.....
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youit was 2005, before Fender Japan stopped shipping out new guitars. So if tried to order a new one for about £700 ( I think it was going to be about £870 landed), but they only had this returned instrument in stock. I was sent loads of hi resolution photos of the mark blown up to make sure I was happy. Then a deal was made.
At the time the Yen was the lowest it had ever been to the £ for decades. Then there's the small matter of Parcelforce cocking up the duty paperwork & just handing me the guitar without charging me, saying it was their fault.
Total price landed £530.00
Current new retail price of a Kotzen Tele £1815
I forgot about my 2016 Brand new Figured 335 from amazon for £1407. 3 months later I pretty much traded it for my Historic 335. Oh and my £216 Les Paul Junior, again from Amazon.
Oh and a retailer once sent me 2 Bajas instead of one and REFUSED to accept they had.
I got a pinnacle last week boxed mint for £50. Had sat for weeks at that price. Decent pedal!
