Blue Strat Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 What's the best deal you ever got on a piece of guitar gear? Amps, pedals, and guitars in particular is what I'm thinking. I've gotten several great deals when I wasn't looking for them... When I worked in a machine shop, the new guy at work told me that he had a couple of old guitar amps he wanted to sell. I figured that they'd be little 15W solid state jobs, the kind that are always floating around in pawn shops. He brought in a '61 Fender Princeton and a Silvertone 1482. I got them both for $100 $100 worth in tubes and repair later (the Fender had some loose connections, easily taken care of at Reliable Music in Charlotte. RIP Reliable. ) They both sound great!! I've still got the Fender, and I got $125 out of the Silvertone when I sold it. Let's hear your tales of conquest.... BlueStrat a.k.a.

Dak Lander Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 As lots of you know I scored a great deal on a Ventura V-6 acoustic guitar a month or so ago and just recently picked up a Focus 2000 Kramer, Crate GX-15 amp, Gibson brown hardshell case and a nice leather strap for $40.00 US. It's all in good to great shape, the guitar plays well with old strings, the case cleaned up well and the amp is in like new conditon. Another great deal I got was the trade I made to get my banjo. I swapped an old Radio Shack stereo mixer and a four channel Radio Shack mic/instrument mixer for the banjo.
