theodessakid Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Sale price on a new 1960 GC VOS is $2999. Used is $2499. Had the tech pull the back cover off to look inside. He said it has 500K pots with ceramic caps, not the bumble bee. Is the only thing that drives the price up on these the vintage finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 If it's a 1960 reissue, than it has CTS pots...I believe they're 500K. What drives the price up? Better wood and workmanship...that's what they say anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theodessakid Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 The question is "why no bumble bee caps" if it is a vintage origional spec? I have been told the ceramic caps suck out tone. If anyone has one of these guitars I would like to hear from you. Still trying to convince myself its worth the extra $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
