Craigslist and Ebay watch(doom specific)

Not trying to be a jerk here man, But I would say No, and No. Hot rodded or not I am not going to pay more than $150 for a used epi.

We pretty much use this thread to post insane bargains on killer gear that we cant afford/ don't need, as a service to everyone else.

As for selling that guitar, I think you would be better served selling the pickups separately, I'm not sure what that wiring scheme entails but if that is something people pay for, sell that separately too. Like most guys here I do my own wiring and setups so that adds zero value to me.

I'm not sure what that wiring scheme entails...

500K CTS Pots, Jensen .022 Paper-In-Oil Capacitors, 22 Gauge Cloth Hook-Up Wire.

I figured it was worth posting considering the guitar is barely used, has over $300 in upgrades alone, and comes with a hardshell. I don't think you're being a jerk necessarily, but I think the selling point is pretty good for what it is.

You might wanna let them know that correct spelling goes a long to making people confident in bidding on items.

Also having built / modded and sold more guitars than i can actually remember, mod's only decrease value not increase; bar very few exceptions. With a hard case $400 is about the top end of the spectrum you can expect to get for it, any higher and 95% of the people looking for a les paul will go for a used Gibson studio or faded as its only $100 more. Not trying to be a buzzkill but you gotta look at the reality of things, those mods meant alot to YOU so you paid for them. Finding someone out there that has the exact same taste and tonal desires as you is very very very unlikely, and even if you do they still gotta be willing to spend the dough.

And that's why you should always keep guitars original hardware, and return them to stock prior to selling. sell upgrades separately. You'll get a much better return that way.

Pretty much. We have a different whole section of the site dedicated to buying, selling, and trading gear.

You might have seen it. It's called Buy/Sell/Trade

Yeah, this fellow is a bit lacking in the spelling department. I know from past interactions. He means well.

Thanks for the advice, though. I'd be okay if it sold for a flat $400, I don't really expect to have a significant amount of my investment returned.

Well, considering that the guitar was already listed on ebay, it's an appropriate doom guitar, and this thread's name reflects those qualities, I figured I'd post it here. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea. We're moving on now.

You could have been a little less snide about it and got your point across just the same.

[D.o.S.]

But then you wouldn't have been all hot and bothered.

And we like you when you're hot and bothered.

Let me introduce you to DOS... he's a resident.... he's slightly trollish, hates anything that fits into stereotypes for doom, and is an overall unpleasant companion. BUT we wouldn't have his nasty ass any other way.

Ya just gotta take it with a grain of salt.

Skip hit the head on the nail. Everything in this post is spot on.

[Krosis]

To the new guy: I've been posting here a few months and I don't think Astronaught or AxAx were using any snark at all. In fact, I think they offered some pretty good advice. I hope you decide to stick around the doom room.

I never thought DoS was trollish. A smart arse, yes. Dry as all fuck, yes. Sarcastic, for certain.
But I like that.
Just like I like you, Skip, for being as big ol cuddly peacekeeper.

RELEASE THE BEAR-HUG!!!
