Bought this Charvel built in San Dimas new in 85. Still in pristine condition. Hasn't seen much play in the last 20 years. I've had a bunch of over asking offers, even had it boxed up to send, and changed my mind. It's a beauty and plays wonderfully.

That’s a classic, even has the pointy 80’s headstock. Probably sounds amazing, I wouldn’t sell it either.
Yngwie economy picks ascending, alternate on the way down. I still economy pick certain things, but alternate is now ingrained. I’m starting to practice hammering on and pulling off, especially with the first 3 fingers to build that up again.

I bought Chris Brook's Yngwie book and it's pretty interesting. Yngwie's picking is super weird. He Economy picks way more than I thought he would...When I saw him live a few months ago I seriously just stared at what he was doing to see what the hell is going on. It's so fast his fingers almost don't move...He also gets his picking speed by rolling his thumb back and forth instead of moving wrist or forearm. Just try that for 30 seconds.
advice please:
thinking of selling my guitars: fender strat (the cheapy one) and a yamaha accoustic (which i'm less inclined to sell). cases included plus some accessories like an amp (yeah yeah... line 6... i know i know), 1 wall hanger, 1 stand, a bunch of picks, metronome, and possibly a mini pocket amp if i can find a battery to see if it still actually works.
1-- is there any interest in these? (teammates get priority pick)
2-- advice on selling and determining worth?
EDIT: feel free to message me privately

Do you have a closer pic of that Frnder Headstock? Is it like MIM Cheap or Squire Cheap?
Not a guitar player here, but I have been into watching playthroughs lately. It really enhances my appreciation for the instrument and has opened my ears to some of the more nuanced things going on the the background.
A few of my recent favs:
Mike Stringer from Spiritbox
Will Swan from DGD

Reverb asking prices are always inflated. Actual sale prices are around $400.
Throw it on Craigslist for $499 and see who bites.
The Yamaha might not fetch much - probably about $150 max (but I'm sure it's a great playing guitar as Yamaha makes great instruments at every price point.
Line 6 amp - can probably get around $50 for that. It's tough to sell those smaller amps with a smaller speaker.
Or you could do a package deal Fender Strat with the Line 6 amp.
Ok... So I am going to sell these... I'll make an official post tomorrow in the proper channels... Package deal... Both guitars, cases and the amp

Donated to me by Greg in storage for a while shape. Stripped the old strings off and gave it good cleaning, put on new strings. Plays really nice. I have no one local interested so I'll keep it in the MTBNJ family.
Get yer Carcassi on.
