Epiphone Melody Maker Think this was about $100, got it shortly after they came out. The tuners need replacing but I guess I'll change them next string change. The pickups are strat style but strat covers didn't quite fit but the mustang style did so I went with it. Will probably file the opening a ...

Firefly DC Gray burst flame Grabbed one of these recently as well. Couldn't say no to a silverburst ish Double cut. Mods include Graph tech bridge Light weight stop tail 500k bourns pots Neck tone push pull does inseries/out of phase Cavities shielded Switchcraft jack .015 pio caps Treble bleed mods...

IYV Mustang Mustang with a Jazz trem was a worthwhile gamble. They were blowing these out on ebay a year or so ago for like 80 bucks. A curveball I wasn't prepared for was the switches being jaguar on on switches not the normal onoffon or ononon/ not sure the technical term. Not crazy about how I wi...

Wouldn't it be great if these import sellers offered a finished body/neck option? I know I'm not near your numbers (I'm under 150), I really don't need more ways to buy more gear. :P My time hunting bstocks at rondo back in the day made me a sucker for anytime I see a good deal. I miss those days o...

GearIT Thinline style Tele This was about $80 with a coupon on Amazon. I may grab the Sunburst as well. I forgot to add the treble bleed cap so I'll have to do that next time I change the strings. Only cosmetic change was a white p90 cover and a white switch tip. Mods include Cavities shielded 500k ...

I met Dave and the band about a year ago when they came to VA. I made Dave and Kiko both humbuckers for fun, hoping they might use it in a personal guitar at home but I doubt they ever did. Dave was a grumpy dude but the rest of the band was awesome. I had to be brief obviously but I thought the Mus...

Love the flame top natural finish

Tons of defense contractor jobs here in VA but glad it all worked out in the end

The Ceti wasn't around very long which was sad as I thought a more affordable Harm was a great idea but I did manage to snag this baritone version in sunburst as a bstock that I had refinished in a lake placid ish blue

Squier Cyclone The switch kept grounding out in the cavity as this originally had a cheap box switch so I had to route out a little in the cavity around the the switch to accommodate the Switchcraft style. Mods include Treble bleed mod .05 petp cap Bourns pots (250 or 500, not sure) 3 way Switchcraf...

Good job
The mini is a nice touch, I thought about that as well.

I think you me and John have the same guitar

Nice
I was seriously tempted but black isn't my color

May be interested but the linear taper, not a fan of that either. I think there was a way to add a resistor across 2 of the lugs to emulate a sort of audio taper, will research that. Came across old stock NOS jacks a while back but not wanting to part with them as i use them in pedals. What kind of...

I have about 50 that I'll probably never use. I like the quality and value/300k but I'm not a fan of the linear taper. If anyone has any push pull pots, jacks, or tubes they wanna trade? Kind of a long shot but I had these for harnesses when I had a reverb store so they've been collecting dust, so t...

Squier Bullet Strat Started life as an HSS but I changed the guard to an HS. I thought about going single humbucker but decided to add the neck mustang single. I am out of regular push pull pots so these are dual gang push pull pots that I don't quite know to get all I can out of them yet. I used a ...

Sounds great
Very well done

I think the bigsby version balances better due to the added weight of the bigsby.
They have green and walnut for 279

I got a few Gretsch's this winter that I'll have to post about eventually.
Adorama had some great deals.
I scored a great one locally with a case.
And a nice one from an old friend here on the forum too.

TWANG/Patrick posts regularly on one of the firefly Facebook groups. Nrussell23/Nick had some health issues and disappeared along with Rick from PA. Nick disappeared from Facebook too, AFAIK. I also have a ring from jjegg. Snarph was an interesting guy. BigPigDave got into making his own guitars and...

My SX Furrian has the same control cavity issue. I started to widen it to accommodate full size pots, then gave up because I was worried about destroying the finish. .. FWIW, I use a Dremel style tool and grind the area of the cavity that the full-size pot comes in contact with but only from the bo...

Glarry Tele This was even cheaper than the semi hollow Glarrys, $60 shipped. This one came with a blank headstock. Cutting cost I guess! I wanted to convert one of my Teles to a Nashville and this cheapie was a good candidate. It was routed for a neck humbucker but not enough to get the middle singl...

I've not tried Eart but just a heads up that Firefly uses stainless steel frets now too and they are mostly $200 or cheaper. Any guitar I get under $500 I go in to with the mindset that some work will be required to get it how I like it and I think some folks have had bad luck with them but I have a...

Monoprice Indio Offset SSH White Scored this for $70 shipped on ebay a month or 2 ago. Fret ends are a bit sharp but otherwise a pretty good guitar.

Yes but I make sure to state that the automated "is this item still available" messages will be deleted and ignored. You get as many trade offers as u get low ballers but it certainly was busier than CL. I had no responses at all on there. It should get you somewhere between what you want ...
