  1. [quote name='Stu-khag' post='797958' date='Apr 6 2010, 08:02 PM']I had one very similar in white a few years back which looks to be roughly the same age. THe Kahler unit on it was great but I'm afraid I didnt get on too well with it as I dont tend to use them either and always use lots of altered tunings![/quote]

    Yeah I'm the same. I've got all the springs that it'll take in the back at the minute and it's stable enough to do different tunings with little fuss, but the trem isn't usable now. That makes me think "well why not block it properly with wood?", which then makes me think well if I'm going to do that then I'm obviously not getting the use out of it that someone else might.

  2. For sale is my 1980's MIJ Fender Stratocaster. I think it's called a 'Contemporary' Strat.

    Specs:

    3 tone sunburst body.
    Kahler Spyder floating trem (arm included).
    Maple neck and fretboard.
    Schaller straplocks installed (strap not included but attachments will be).
    Custom wiring so that the 2nd tone control blends the neck pickup in to the signal, 1st tone control is now a master for all the pickups.
    Dimarzio Fast Track 2 in the bridge position but I'll also be including the original pickup.
    All pickup covers are ageing nicely now
    Frets levelled so no wear on them.
    Comes with it's original Fender hardcase.



    A few knocks around the edge of the body, a mark on the headstock near the low E tuning post, and a few scratches on the back of the neck which are only cosmetic as I've never felt them when playing.

    I bought this because I'd heard the reputation that the 1980's MIJ Fender Strats are as good as the USA made equivalents, and it was the only Strat I could find with a floating trem.
    I think the Kahler is a lot better than the Fender made counterparts that you sometimes see on other 80's Strats, and I also assume a lot rarer as I've never seen another guitar like this one either before or after I bought it 3 years ago.

    I'm really not sure on the price so offers?
    I don't want to seem cheeky asking for them, but as I said I've never seen another like this for sale so I've not a clue what to ask.

    The [i]only[/i] reason I am even considering selling this is because I just never touch the trem now and I don't see the point in me having it there going to waste.
    I love the neck on it (had the frets levelled so they don't have any wear).
    As soon as this sells I'll probably be looking for pretty much the same guitar again with either a traditional trem or even a hardtail if I can find it.

    References can be supplied if needed.

  3. For sale is my MIM Fender 60th Anniversary Telecaster in white.
    I've changed the pickguard to a black one because I thought it looked better than the original white, but if you prefer
    you can have that one.

    It's in great condition apart from a collection of tiny dents on the end of the headstock, and some black scratches
    on the back (which taking a look at the picture now I can't even see).

    It's had it's frets levelled so there is no wear on them.

    I'm looking for £250 plus delivery or you can come and pick it up from Wakefield or possibly Sheffield.

    References supplied if needed.

  4. The guitar is a rare 1994 Ibanez RG670DX in black, upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups.
    It is in player's condition but plays amazingly and there are no problems with functionality to any part of the guitar, only cosmetics.

    I am including a Hiscox case which is beaten up but will serve the purpose of getting the guitar to you in 1 piece.

    Specs are:

    Made in Japan in 1994
    Basswood body
    Maple neck and fretboard with black sharkfin inlays
    Lo Pro trem
    Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge
    original singlecoil in the middle
    Neck pickup appears to be some kind of Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis Trembucker
    AANJ
    Gotoh Tuners

    The guitar has been professionally set up and then barely touched since, so the frets are in brilliant condition with no dents whatsoever as they've been levelled etc.
    I have this done to all my used guitars straight after buying them which costs me £60, so now you won't need to have it done.

    Price is £300 plus postage. Would like to receive payment through a way which doesn't charge me any fees, so no Paypal unless you pay the fees.

    I know I am a new member on this forum but I've already had good deals with 1 or 2 people on here (bought a Dunlop 535Q) and I can also supply references etc if needed. Just PM me.
