Hurry up 5 minutes left!!
I dont know whether to bid or not!!!!
-
It's gone, i left it, my tactics best pay off because i'll be pissed if i don't get this Charvel.
-
Too bad the BC Rich is gone. I would have gone for that.

I think I'm gonna start watching superstrats on ebay! I've actually almost got enough for most of these ones on ebay. Just dont know who to trust on it :(
-
That St3 was nice - was an early one of the series as it had a slanted pickup set
The necks on these were nice - Wayne Charvel designed the profile for them on that series
The Charvel is cool too - have placed a bid myself -looks like a 1988 model 2 with the jackson trem which is ok-ish but could be better
Still has the small guitar logo - tres cool
-
crazy joe's findign all the good stuff on ebay atm :wink: i LOVE the look of that charvel.

Speaking of Super Strats, I bought a Yamaha RGX312 from a mate for AU$80 a while back. It looks and pretty awesome but it's currently unplayable because the bridge and pickups were removed.
I put an old Dimarzio humbucker in the bridge position and ordered the original bridge from Yamaha in Japan. Much to my dismay they offered me three different bridges for the RGX312 (apparently there were several versions made) and I took a guess and opted for the latest model released assuming it would fit the routing.
As it turned out, the bridge never did fit in (it was too big) and I ended up upgrading the bridge on another old guitar instead turning my old 'Samick' bash about into a bit of a shredding demon.
The Yammy is a nice axe. I'm hoping to eventually get a new bridge for it (apparently the original Yamaha one sucked anyway) and even put some Bare Knuckles in when I get the cash (I like what I hear about the Miracle Man/trilogy suite, and the Mule/Mother's Milk... decisions, decisions...) I've never actually had a chance to play this guitar but it feels really well made and the neck feels especially good to me.
I'd love to hear your opinions - is it worth spending the time/money to do this Yammy up or should I hang on to it as an ornament for when I eventually get around to making my dedicated guitar room 8)
If you own one of these I'd especially like to hear from you.
Cheers,

I once had a Yamaha RGX Custom - 1980s guitar made in Taiwan - there is a picture of one in The Ultimate Guitar Book - it was fantastic!
£1200 new and I got it for... £160!
Not many on eBay etc but if you can get one they are worth it!
-
Noooooooo!!!! Should have bid on that BC Rich!!
-
thanks mikeluke, you have convinced me to fork out and get this yamaha slamming! i'll let you all know how it goes.

I have a yamaha rgx (321 fp) and its the nicest guitar I've played. Cost £300 new about 15 years ago and I've recently put my set of warpigs in it. Sounds brutal now! :twisted:
Saying that though, I've also got a cheap pacifica which I bought as a practice guitar but never play it cause the neck is auwful. Oh well :roll:
