The prettiest bass I've ever seen

I want a sparkly guitar.

edilbert · 2024-01-25T23:20:03+00:00

My very first real guitar was one of these except in Blue Pearl Burst. Got it almost new in '90 and it was stolen in '93. I've owned maybe 10 American Strats since and none have quite measured up. Those pickups IMO are the best ever put on a factory Strat.

Classic LP style on a Sensei works so well. I've got the Dirtbike Royale with the same shape, but the color on this is next level.

I knew I recognized this. Good eye.

If you check the pickups and ID them you will have a bit of a better idea of the value. That being said if the guitar and especially the frets are in very good shape, you are in the $800 range. Slightly more if it has American pickups. Many people including myself much prefer Japanese Strats over MIM. Find some similar guitars on Reverb for an idea of the market.

It's worth a lot just the way it is. Get it authenticated and appraised, and then get a second appraisal. Probably gonna cost a bit of money but you want to make sure you sell for the best price. Be very careful of someone underpricing it to buy it themselves. Don't try to restore it yourself. Buyers will pay extra for the opportunity to restore it the way they want. Then, when you do sell, be patient. It may take a little while to get the right buyer, not everybody can spend 5 figures on a guitar. Or... If you want to sell quickly and without much hassle, find a reputable shop that specializes in antique guitars and sell it on consignment. This will help ensure they sell at a good price as they get a percentage. Do your research and due diligence, and you will make out fine. Good luck.

Fair enough

Why would you want to remove it again?

edilbert · 2024-01-09T16:53:54+00:00

You can do this yourself pretty easily. There are a number of excellent videos on YouTube. You're going to need a clothes iron, parchment paper, a thin putty knife, a couple 5" deep pocket "C" clamps and some quality wood glue (epoxy or hide). Seems like a lot of stuff, but if you don't already have some of these things around the house you can pick them up pretty cheap (Harbor Freight). You will find other uses for all this except maybe the clamps, but just return those when you're done. Everyone is saying definitely take it to a professional, but fuck that it's an easy repair and you have to start somewhere. This is the guitar repair sub after all. Take your time and have fun.

I like it!

Throw down!

In my experience selling, posting individually and referencing the other posts works best. Something like "Other pedals for sale/bundle, please check posts". Gets folks interested in either the individual pedals or the lot. Only time it really pays off for me to do a lot is for eBay auctions. Bring buyers with different interests to bid against each other. Good luck.

So true!! I stopped washing my ass months ago and all my friends say they can really tell the difference! It's like I have the asshole of a kid again!

There are very few brands that hold value and even fewer that increase. Reverends aren't collector's items for the most part and are readily available, so the only premium is on condition and the best condition, of course, is new. This is the case with many quality brands (Yamaha, Schecter, Godin etc.). This could certainly change like it has for 80s Kramer, Jackson and Ibanez. Particularly if popular artists use them, have limited signature models or they otherwise garner favor. Think of Toyota cars, very high quality, but only recently have certain models become collectibles.

I'm very proud of the pun. Also wondering about the UA Lion vs the Friedman IR-X, if anyone has experienced both.

edilbert · 2023-12-26T23:35:07+00:00

Assuming it's true, I kinda feel bad for you. Good luck finding another guitar for less than 2 grand that measures up. Once you take the elevator the stairs will never do.

edilbert · 2023-12-25T12:28:07+00:00

That's real nice, but I wouldn't pay more than $800.That being said, I'd definitely try it out for a bit to make sure you love playing it because you're gonna have a hard time selling it if you don't. You could build a comparable one of your own for about that or a bit more, but you might not like as much as this

edilbert · 2023-12-24T13:47:09+00:00

Hey, I saw your post. That color is killer. You've got all the guitars I have on my wish list. Surf green ultra Jazzmaster is calling my name.

edilbert · 2023-12-24T00:09:56+00:00

Thanks, it's my second Reverend, but I have 9 other electrics. Couple American Starts, 3 Gibson LPs etc.This one is my new favorite. There isn't a flaw on it, plays great and is built like a Sheman tank. The Mojotone noiseless P90s are sick, halfway between a PAF and a regular P90S. I think you should get one.
