Gibson 1984 XRI in Toledo OH area for $430

This looks just like my 1983 XR-1 except it has some kind of Schaller locking Tremolo bridge. I will attest that they makegreat hard rock guitars - these pre Les Paul Studio guitars fly pretty low under the radar so you can still find them fairly cheap - like this one. The Dirty Fingers pickups are insane. Great for Rock or metal.

I have done a lot of research on this guitar lately so that I could list it absolutely correctly. This is a 1962 Alden 9908 hollowbody single pickup Tuxedo. It is basically the same as a Harmony Stratotone and is made by Harmony. These were sold through the Alden stores in the 60's. This guitar play great and sounds great. The neck is straight, and all the electronics work well. Guitar has a few small scratches but is in great shape for being 50 years old. It is black with silver speckle. Includes gig bag.

USA Strat w/ 64 Vintage RI Pickups in Central CA for $550

I can't say I love the aged pickguard in the pics but the Black body with the dark rosewood neck looks nice on this USA Strat. I don't think it is a Highway 1 because I don't think they came in black. The Fender 64 RI pickups should have a nice vintage tone.

Note: This guy has a 949 area code so he may be traveling back to Orange County after he's in Morro Bay - maybe he'd drop the guitar off somewhere along the way.

Black 1999 Stratocaster. Made in USA. Medium large frets, not the smaller vintage wire, with lots of life left.
The neck is very straight, and the body is in great shape. No buckle rash or scratches.
I have set it up to look vintage with an aged pickgaurd and knobs and it has staggered pole Fender'64 reissue pickups.............
The Pickups cost $125.00 and were installed($50.00 for installation) by the Guitar Doctor in Fountain Valley, (This is the guy Walter Trout uses)..........
Saddles are graph tech for smoother action................
It sounds amazing with the '64 reissue pickups................
Comes with a gigbag $ 550.00 /obo .......
Visiting my brother in Morro Bay until the 28th..........Call Me NOW for the deal of a life time .........949-400-2227...................

This is less than half of what you would pay for a new American made Strat, and If you want to be real ............
THIS IS LESS THAN WHAT YOU WOULD PAY FOR A NEW MADE IN MEXICO STRATOCASTER.....................
......and I guarantee it wont sound as good as mine does with the '64 reissue Pickups I've had installed.......
......... Will meet you if serious........
I'm visiting my brother in Morro Bay so call me on my cell at 949-400-2227 as I dont answer emails...........

Kay VIntage (RI?) Hollow Electric Bass in Modesto for $100

Okay so he used a stock photo for the listing BUT if you are lucky then this is either one of the new Kay Vintage Reissue Bass guitars which sell for $800 at MF (making this a hell of a deal) - or it might be an original Kay from the 50's - which are even more rare and prized. Few modern players are aware that the Kay Upright Acoustic Basses were considered some of the best Jazz and Country Stand up basses ever - and the rare hollow electrics run a distant but notable second.

I called this guy and left a message with his mom - apparently the bass is still available...
