dick motorman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have about 1100 bucks to go towards a new guitar, and I want a GM with a trans trem more than anything. I don't care what model as long as it is a gm/m model with a transtrem, preferably black, or a dark trans color, please help me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently bought a GM-7T from headless research and paid 2.3k plus shipping. I know this price was on the higher end of the range for MY Steinies, but I'm not the only one who paid it. Shortly after my GM-7 there was another one with an inoperable middle pickup, which still was sold for 2.2k. You might be able to get one for less, but it's not easy to find and finally get one. I think it's more likely to find one for a good price privately than on ebay. I've been lucky with my second GM-7T, which I got this way for a much more reasonable price. Currently there's a "clear purple" GM-4T in the headless research shop: Headless Research One (little) chance could be the information which Andy Y. (SteinbergerWorld) recently posted to the list: On a regular basis Epiphone has what they call "yard sales". It'sbasically a flea market of stuff they want to get rid of at the factory. Sometimes it's fully assembled but blem'd guitars. Other times just misc. parts. If anyone is in the Nashville area they are having their last one tomorrow. In terms of Steinberger stuff, word is it's mostly XQ bodies and maybe some import parts - so expect to see a bunch of this stuff on eBay next week! Andy Y. Text of announcement email is below: ==================================== This will be the last Yard Sale of 2008 and it will be the biggest ever!!!!! 645 Massman Drive, Nashville, TN - rear parking lot 10:00 am Friday, Oct. 17th, - if it rains, we will move the sale to Fri, Oct. 24th Cash, credit card (5% surcharge), check (5% surcharge) We will have all these great products on hand: - Epi - Kramer - Steinberger - Pro Audio – amp heads, combos, 4 x 12 cabinets - Cases - Maestro - Warner Bros Teaching Videos - and much, much, more..... All products are priced to go!!!!! Tell your friends – bring a truck ------------------------------------ Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick motorman Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 well thanks for the info. It's too bad even the MY's go for so much, considering that even new they barely went over 1800, I think the gm7t's where about 1700 if memory serves. But I guess I understand why they go for so much, I'll just have to keep on looking I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for about two years (while constantly monitoring the MY website) for the guitar to be in stock. Which never happened. So I was more than happy to find one on ebay with a "buy it now" button. At that time the Euro/US$ exchange rate was quite inviting for such a deal :-) Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Almost nobody actually uses the TT so why not look for an old GR4 ? in budget and as good (same neck and body just fitted with Duncan's instead on EMGs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with you wanting one (I got 2) just don't pass on a great GR4 if you can find one . 99 % of TT equipped guitars are owned by people who can't calibrate them or have lost the arm LOL.

RICH1281758317 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 serial #6000 range working on pics having trouble downloading. sorry about the incorrect number. should of checked and looked more carefully before opening my mouth. tend to do that time to time. after blowing the dust off it appears to be a gl4 i , white. pics will be up shortly. wife found out value and so the story goes. watching another gl4 on ebay seeing if its going to be sold for $5k. still cant believe the worth value. thanks eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Used examples have regularly gone for $4.5K so I don't see why you wouldn't get $5K but with the economy down the toilet it will be less predictable . Make sure you post plenty of sharp hi res close ups in your Ebay ad to get everybody salivating(worth 20%+ in the final price achieved.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
