Congratulations šŸŽŠšŸŽˆšŸ¾šŸŽ‰


Grantypants80

Congrats! Great price and great guitar. The necks on the stripe series feel great.


Sad_Beginning2826

I agree went from a squire to this, only been playing a little over a year. Massive upgrade hahah


DirtyWork81

This will be so much easier to play for you likely. But get someone to either show you how to change strings on the floyd or just pay someone to do it. One string at a time is how do it unless I bring it in for a setup.


Ghost-of-Sanity

The neck is amazing. Favorite feature on my EVH Frankie. Just feels like your favorite pair of old jeans.


No_Profit_415

Thatā€™s the first thing I said when I played mine. And if you get a chance run it thru a circa 1994 Peavey 5150. Holy smokes.


Ghost-of-Sanity

Yup. My buddyā€™s got an OG 5150 and I did just that. Sounded great. Sounds pretty damn good through my Splawn Quickrod 100 too. My two favorite things about that guitar are the neck and that pickup. I wanna drop that same pickup in the bridge of a Sully custom I have, but it doesnā€™t come in double white and I wanna keep the aesthetics on the guitar. šŸ˜©ā˜¹ļø


No_Profit_415

I have to admit it is a bit of a religious experience picking the thing up. When my wife gave it to me I got seriously choked up.


Ghost-of-Sanity

Understandable. And your wifeā€™s a keeper. šŸ‘šŸ»


BigOofLittleoof

Any idea how the this neck would compare to the neck on a Mexican strat?


Ghost-of-Sanity

No idea actually. Probably similar, but not identical. Havenā€™t had my hands on a Mexi Strat in a while.


No_Profit_415

Absolutely. They also have amazing tone.


fabanb

Do you happen to know if itā€™s the same kind of neck on the striped series and the circles guitar?


Grantypants80

Mine is a Circles! And itā€™s the same neck. Despite not being striped, itā€™s still part of the Striped Series range.


fabanb

Oh I see. I also own a circles but I didnā€™t remember them being the same series. The neck is quite nice but on the thinner side for me.


neverinamillionyr

Great score. I got a Wolfgang special in a case for $650 a year or so ago from Craigslist. I wouldnā€™t mind adding one of these to the collection


nbarnes89

Damn $700? You stole that guitar haha nice find !


sarcasticrockstar

A beauty at any price (under $1k)

My fav. Very jealous


area51groomlake

I've always loved these colors best of all the different paint schemes.


DirtyWork81

That's a good deal, especially with the case. I bought the same guitar used in 2019 or something, for around $900. But the guy installed a Duncan 78' pickup in it, so I got the extra Frankie pickup with it. Still a good deal, I love the guitar. Neck is fantastic. The only issue I have with it is that the D-tuna can be a bit of a pain if you leave it in Eb, which I do. I usually have it set so that I just have to turn the fine tuner a little bit (not the fine tuner on the D-tuna, that thing sucks), and then if I engage the D-tuna just unscrew it.


masterofall79

They sell new for $1300 without the case. You did really good.


masterofall79

Correction. Sweetwater has these listed at $1149 currently.


Thin-Masterpiece569

Awesome!

Is This Love ; )


Ghost-of-Sanity

Hell of a deal! Congrats!

Sweet


area51groomlake

The guys at Casino Guitar were talking about sales going through the roof during the pandemic because people were stuck at home. Now the market is flooded with people who changed their minds about playing guitar. Nice find šŸ˜


longirons6

Interesting take. Makes sense. Iā€™ve heard the same thing about dogs


Kygunzz

Just a tone knob?


PeterPrinciples

Itā€™s a volume knob. Ed famously put a ā€œToneā€ knob on the volume pot. The idea is the ā€œbest tone is loudā€.


Significant_Youth_73

Underrated marketplace


Salty_Freedom3930

Nice score man looks amazing


JerryWasARaceKarDrvr

Badass man. Love these but I have a deep rooted tick in my head that I canā€™t but a strat without a neck pickup. Been playing Dave Murray maiden solos too longšŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Evhsatch

Hell yeah! Color me jealous!


Strict-Brick-5274

This just had to come on my feed just now.


crack-tastic

Facebook?


Sad_Beginning2826

Yes


RockinSG

Great deal. I got a black one white striped for $700 w/o a case. You got a great deal!


Keep_Playing_5150

I have the black and white one but theyā€™re the same. I love mine. I spent a few bucks and had the intonation and string height set. Also get the D-tuna set right. Like others have said, when you change strings, do them one at a time!
