Rabs Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Just when you thought you were safe from GAS after acquiring two amazing 336s.. I thought I would be done even wanting another guitar.. But this one popped up on my screen and my god, I dont need it, I never even thought of having one that colour. But man, I want it 😄 Its that much out of my price range even if I wanted to buy another guitar. But I still want it ... Man does this never stop... Its a 1988 LP Lite.. But just look at that colour. # 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had some evil thoughts about offering a trade with one of my 336s... But still.. Its just that much too much.... edit: If it were about 3k, I probably would have bought it by now 😄 Edited February 28, 2023 by Rabs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha.. Its also up on EBay . The price difference between sites is just mad.. Just shows how much they are trying to screw people for. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225386480043?hash=item347a14c1ab:g:nvcAAOSw1ExjXorZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoErY9ty9OS%2BwdL20HCMaxt78en%2FZFoNFiBlktUJslcBw0lyd%2BzBMSspvGouymYC28Z25xPHhJw3Rt72L8Vd25vYs56ELqMAu3ARlG8YQkT2yTLyAKdbEWhutxi59gbTtpm%2BomXZycJfwFJv%2FKIN3gP%2Fm4SdJ2bTh1uEL8S1Y97xlXAK7nBiPfSiCSf%2F0l5xlzsDRdFBr7cZCFBxyKIFj5pI%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6jy_J3TYQ In fact this is what happened last time.. I saw the 336 on ebay as I am not actually signed up to Reverb and then got an offer that I just couldn't refuse.. In this case there is no way they are gonna drop it lower than about £3800.. Which is still too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROWB8 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Makes my mouth water. Slightly off white binding and gold accents, would have no problem bringing that bird home to meet mum and dad. On LPs, typically the pick guard floats over surface and reveals marks once removed. Dont see that. Nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what you'd pay even if they took an offer on it, I don't think it will appreciate like those 336s.

Its pretty unique and in very good condition, ebony board... And its a Lite which makes it even more unique.. Theres way more 336s out there... I have actually emailed the guy to see if they accept part exchange.. I would maybe do it for the humbucker 336 if they offer me enough for it and are willing to let it go for a bit less.. I think the P90 one is just also too unique to let go (and I got it at a great price). Im just exploring ideas at the moment 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROWB8 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Wait, what? Is this a case queen? Gotta be. I see no scratches on the frets. This might be worth the extra bucks.

Larsongs Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 If you like it & want it you should take the 20 minute drive & play it. Take your 336 with you knowing what it’s worth.. If you still like it Make an offer! What’s the worst thing that can happen? It is a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
