Silenced Fred Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Saw this on Craigslist, I don't want to get my hopes up but I am hoping it is real, I just emailed for more pics in the case, if that goes well, I will ask for some sort of picture to ensure that it is real, then set up a meeting, because you just can't beat that price. If it needs some work, so be it http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/msg/1520065174.html I am ecstatic if it works out [biggrin] [biggrin] [biggrin] [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Dave- that is the plan, if it is legit, I will be sure to post pics and the whole 9 yards I plan on stripping the neck and probably changing out the pups should be a beast Then a straight up 335 later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 There are a few different JLH models, some fairly expensive. I'm not sure which one this is supposed to look like with the pickguard removed, though. Here's my '98 JLH sig. Commemorative, of which only 50 were made, to commemorate his first commercial record, Boogie Chillun, 50 years earlier. It's bone stock. Good luck with your acquisition!

Silenced Fred Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 That looks sweet man, I have no idea what they were going for, but for that price, I don't care! I will definitely strip the neck, I just love the way it feels, and I would play it stock, but if it needs it, I would be willing to put on new Pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 has anyone ever seen a fake sheraton? just asking because I haven't ever seen or heard of one there a nice guitar but at the price they sell for it would be like making counterfit 1 bills you can do it but it costs as much to make them as a real one. nice guitar good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry is that it is a fake ad, or the guitar is broken or something because, theoretically, the guitar is only like 100 bucks since a case is around 90. If it all works out, I will be extremely happy. IF that is the real pic, it looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Yeah I get your point but a Sheraton is about $500 so in todays used market 200 or 250 is probably about right. good luck and hope it sings that's a fun guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 The only used ones I see, other than this one, are right around 400 w/o case. It should be tons of fun Will milod be mad if this works out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wow thats more than I would have thought a friend of mine bought one a few weeks back when I was getting a Brian Setzer model Gretsch he paid $460.00 with taxes out the door for a new one. It was a pretty guitar natural color and gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 So here is my question, has anyone ever had someone make up a fake ad on them, just to mess with em? I have a feeling this might be that way because it has been two days and no response, but it is the holiday and all, but I am very worried now, I hope this is real...

Blackie Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well I just won an e-bay auct. and sent the $751 through paypal and that was the 20th. The seller said they would ship wed. so far no tracking number.....but it is the holidays so I am not overly worried...........yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 You should not be, PayPal will hold the payment to the seller for 21 days or until you leave positive feedback. If they don't send the item, just file a claim with PayPal and you should get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
