Heya fellas,

I have some guitars, amp, effects, etc that simply just don't get used much if at all. Below are items I looking to clear out. Everything listed will be exactly as described/depicted.

Instruments

First up, 1985 Ibanez Roadstar RS140. I bought this used and as far as I know it is completely stock. Missing orginal whammy bar - no biggie. It has some heavy scratches towards the body of the front of the guitar which I could never understand how they could have gotten there. Picture a ring a coffee cup leaves on a wood table and that's it. The guitar has a beautiful, highly flamed maple neck, almost all of its fret life left, can achieve very low action sans buzzing and just plays extremely well. The bucker is also set up push/push for hum/single sound. Very versatile super strat. Asking price is $250.

Here's the oddly shaped scratch:

Next, late 90's Schecter Diamond Series PT. Great player that unfortunately took a back seat once I obtain the USA Custom Shop model of the same guitar. I swapped the original Duncan Designs for GFS Boutique PAFs. I was going to put the original pickups back and cut too much wire in the neck position so this is something that you'll have to tend to. Both sets of pups will come with it plus a gig bag. Asking a firm $250 because of great condition and included pups and bag.

Finally, 1997 Fender Lone Star Stratocaster. Great shape for it's age. Plays extremely well. Typical small scratches in the clear from playing but still looks great. It's black with b/w/b pickguard (orginal MOP pickguard included). Has the following mods:

Original Duncan Pearly Gates + pup has been wired to split for single pup sound.

Both neck and mid Texas Specials were replaced with DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues in the neck and HS2 in middle. These are totally noiseless and sound amazing.

Comes with original case and pickguard. Asking $650.

Amps

Early 80s Randall RG-50-112. This is a two channel solid state amp. Comes with original foot switch, speaker, etc. This amp needs a bit of contact cleaner sprayed on some of the knobs and that's it. It was used by me as a teenager and very seldom used the past several years. It's in exactly the same shape it was in 85. It looks great cosmetically and sounds very good. For a SS amp the distortion is quite good and you can easily recapture your 80s thrills! Asking $225.

I can provide better pics but here's one with my JV perched against it:

Shipping is not included in any of the prices. This will typically add an additional 25-30 bucks. Paypal is the preferred means of payment. Will ship only to continental US and Canada because it makes it easier for me and Bobo to get to and break your bones you should you try to pull any kind of scam. :poke:

I´m not a potential buyer but there´s something magic about those old roadstar guitars!

You are selling it too cheap!

Ive got an old Roadstar Deluxe from '84...black on black, ebony fingerboard, SSS with bar magnet looking pickup covers...I keep trying to re-wire it but get distracted too easily.:thwap:

Anyways, looks almost identical to yours(except the fingerboard and pickup arrangement).

unfortunately my guitar/amp GAS fund is completely depleted...that Schecter Tele is beautiful.

Update:

I did some cleaning in the basement and garage made some space and managed to unload a bunch of unused pedals and accessories.

I have since decided not to sell the Randall. For one, I don't feel right selling my childhood friend for the little bit of cash it would fetch. Plus, it still sounds amazing and I have been playing it a lot as of late. I've also decided not to sell the Fender and the Ibanez. The Schecter PT is still for sale. I was looking to make room for another guitar but have since decided that I have all the gear I could possibly want or need - so much that there were closets full of gear untouched for years. So I still have some odds and ends to clear away but I am pretty much done.

If anyone is interested in the Schecter just fire over a PM over to me.

I may still sell the Ibanez...hmmmm.
