Quoted from vid1900:

Here is one you never see on sale from in today's emails:
Fender Duo-Sonic, MIM 24" Scale, Push-Pull Tone, 22 frets, Lake Placid Blue
Description says Pau Ferro fretboard, but pics show Maple - who knows what you will get, but for $359 I guess we can't be choosy. (these are $525 @ GC).
"Super quirky" says my 20 year old niece.

I just bought one through your link. I'll let you know what we get.

Cool, can't wait to see what it is.

Even Googleing the Fender product # 0140212502 does not get a hit.

#753 6 years ago

Received yesterday -

The fretboard is maple. According to Adorama, this is a special edition Duo-Sonic that made especially for them.

My daughter tuned it this morning and using it to play at a show in Asbury next weekend.

As always Vid, thanks for the heads up on this one.

If you ever find yourself at the Jersey shore, I would be delighted to take you out for a nice meal.

Some good deals on ESP LTD guitars in the latest Sam Ash promotion.

The LTD guitars are cheaper versions of the ESP Japanese made axes. I’ve had a few of them and they’re great for the dough.

Hey everyone — wondering if anyone following this thread knows about or has played any Ibanez road stars from ‘83 to ‘86 or so..? I want to pick up a guitar to play in the office at lunch. Wanted to stay around $200 but realistically it’s prob gonna be 300 - 400 range unless someone can reccomend a good $200 - $250 one for general purpose, I play a js100 (on / off last 18 years). I like the look of the road star and seems like people like them? (Other than the early tremolos?) any advice or opinions? The marine blue rs315 looks gorgeous but not too sure about single pickup and the trem ...

Got a sweet score tonight. I was on the dirty old Facebook Marketplace and this Jackson ATX came up.

These were made in Japan in 96/97 only for the Europe and Australia/NZ market. Arch top poplar body, maple neck with rosewood board, shark fin inlays, Floyd Rose.

This one has been unused for a long time, needs a little bit of a tidy up but has no major dings or damage. Should come up mint ...

Scored it for $100 bucks. ($65 USD).

Nice score RD! I just picked up a white roadhouse Strat yesterday, sounds amazing (the s1 switch is a little gimmicky, but does give it a little boost).. really happy with it overall. Mexico made but I have zero issues with it. ‘Blemished’ (return item) made it a lot cheaper than new.. love musiciansfriend- no shipping or sales tax

That is a sweet pick up. I had a recent $100 swoop myself, a sweet early 90’s Fender Talon.

I owned a Talon. Awesome guitar. Still own my HM series Strat. One thing I loved about Fender is they experimented a lot back in the day.

Tonight’s score ...

Slightly more than $100 .. I fact the most expensive guitar I have ever bought ... but scored it for well less than what it is actually worth.

How does it play???

Just like a normal Jem. It’s heavy as hell. The bodies were made by a Japanese company that makes custom acrylic fish tanks.

Maybe one day I’ll bring it to the states ...

And NZ will have either 0 or 1.

I paid $2200 USD for it. The guy really didn’t want to sell it but he was in a bind. Not many buyers for guitars like this over here. I paid pretty close to his asking price, so everyone was happy.

#776 5 years ago

Here’s the original owner playing the Jem.

He is an Ibanez endorsee. Maybe the only one in New Zealand.

Ritchie Allan from Heavy Metal Ninjas. He plays 8 strings now.

He sold my Jem to a collector a few years back, now I have it.

I caught up with one of the owners of one of the Tiger guitars I made back in 1989/90 when I was like 19/20 ish.

I think I sold 5 of them - 2x Rhodes style flying Vs, and 3x super strats.

All of them had Honduras mahogany bodies (like a Les Paul) ESP Japanese necks, Ibanez edge Trems and Dimarzio pickups.

This is the only one I know the whereabouts of. The owner has 5x guitars but still plays this one as his main guitar, which is pretty cool for something I cobbled together with a hand router almost 30 years ago.

Looks like he needs to give it a clean too, just quietly.

After 5 years, I finally got permission to hang some guitars up in the apartment lounge. Haha!

This is where the Jem 20th Anniversary perplex guitar will live (it’s not here at present) The Jeff Loomis or the Jackson will hang next to the pinball machines in the other lounge. Like a lot of modern homes, this apartment has very few internal walls to hang stuff.

Guitars are works of art (in my eyes) - they deserve to be displayed.

Not a guitar, but a musical instrument story worth telling ...

I’ve wanted a Mesa Boogie rectifier amp since they came out in 1991.

I looked longingly at them in the music magazines ... so shiny! And so many knobs!

More knobs must be better, right? And cool musos were using them! So they must be cool!

At Xmas time, 1991, we were at Disneyland in Anaheim. We rode the greyhound bus (!) from Anaheim to Hollywood to visit the Mesa Boogie store on Sunset to check them out .. but they didn’t sell to overseas customers. I recall they were $1299 USD at the time. Probably Duel Rectifiers I guess.

Now they are $2399 USD over there (they still wouldn’t sell to me direct, I was in the Hollywood store a few months ago) and here they are $3999 NZD ... so I’ve always had cheaper tube Marshalls, Laneys, and now the Blackstar HT Metal (which is a really cool metal tube amp)

Last week, a slightly used Triple Rectifier popped up for sale at around $1000 less than what it was worth at a pawnshop... I was around there like a zip and here we have it. Got it for $1400 NZ which was a sweet deal.

I don’t play guitar so much these days - but now I have the coolest office around, with Recifiers, guitars and pinballs ahoy!

I took lessons from several teachers over the years and it was great. But these days if you are motivated there is tons of great stuff on Youtbe. You should be able to get going into any direction you want. Just one example is Ben Eller. There’s enough on there to keep me busy for probably forever.

#788 5 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

That's for sure.

They had a lot of Fender 12-string bodies and necks left over and tried to use them up on that goofy-looking thing by clipping off the body in a couple places and only mounting six tuners in a head designed to accommodate twelve. Not their best effort.

Just picked this up yesterday— 2012 deluxe ash. I love the wood grain showing. Noticeably lighter than my roadhouse Strat.
