I like to build my own strats

 

[Steve Vai]

Strats are like the Honda Civics of the guitar world.

Soup em up to make them think they are sport cars?
Sounds about right.

 

[Steve Vai]

Also, I'm torn between buying a Player Strat and dumping a YJM pickgaurd into it which will be about $1,200 or just bitinh the bullet for USA Built YJM Sig for 1700ish.

All depends if you want/like/can stand a scalloped fretboard

I've never seent one, never knew anyone that seent one, so no idea if it's cool or not. I'm currently texting a dude on Reverb that might let one go cheap enough for it to be worth the experiment. Could also throw a Mighty Mite neck on it if it sucks.

 

[Steve Vai]

Free Nylon string if anyone wants it. It's a Cordoba C3M.

I’ll take it for my son Matty, Jim. Txt you for pickup. Thanks.

 

[Steve Vai]

Already gone. My neighbor picked it up about an hour ago.

 

[Steve Vai]

Talked to a guy for about 45 minutes and ended up making a sweet deal on a '17YJM Strat. 1 owner, all original paperwork, original case candy, even still has the plastic on it. Won't see it for a few weeks because we wanted to wait until after the Holidays to ship in order to avoid any Holiday Rush mishaps.

I have never played scallops… but I feel like you have the vibrato to make it work. You gotta float the note right? So you need to actually hear the pitch?

 

[Steve Vai]

From what I've seen is the note still frets the same but you're not making contact with the fretboard at all. We'll find out.

 

[Soundguy]

Bonus for the tweed case. I’ve always had a weird thing for cases since I first got my Les Paul and the inside was all furry.

 

[Steve Vai]

I have an original purple fuzzy Ibanez Universe case too. None of my guitars fit in it but it's so cool I can't get rid of it.

 

[Steve Vai]

Giving the RG some love. My son basically let it rust in his room so I stole it and cleaned the poop out of it.

hey all,

i've got a 2010 Gibson Les Paul Studio (Ebony) sitting in my home office collecting dust. it's in Excellent shape, but i simply never play it anymore - sticking mostly to my acoustic and uke

anyone on this board interested? i would much rather sell it here rather than on Facebook Marketplace. either that, or I would love some advice on the best way to sell a used guitar. there's a shop on Amboy ave in Edison that buys guitars, not sure if anyone has any experience with those guys, or a Guitar Center type place?



this site - reverb.com (not sure if that's reliable?) says it's worth up to ~$1300

Thanks in advance!

I have a account on Reverb. That's where I sold my Charvel. It's a lot better than FB and the like.

I own this identical guitar but several years earlier. It’s the only guitar I would never consider selling.

$900 to $1000 is a fair price point in today's market
