jdgm Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 On Saturday I visited one of my oldest friends for a guitar day...he just got a very good ebay deal on a Laney 50w 2x10 valve combo and a guitar - which he didn't want to keep. So I bought it off him for £200, inc a gigbag. I don't need another guitar but folks, how could I miss this completely unexpected bargain in front of me?! It's a Shine SHC-909TO, made in Korea (reputedly in same factory as Epi). I've put 11-48s on today. Proper Grovers, real Bigsby, scarf neck/head joint, all solidly made and well finished. The gold plating on the Bigsby is so thin I accidentally rubbed some off with a tissue. There's a bit of vibration acoustically due to the wiring inside touching the top - they used plenty of wire in there! The pickups sound good and I've always wanted a Bigsby, so I'm chuffed. Not sure what particular Gretsch it is based on though.....? Whaddya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I would have paid $200 for that. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
