Found a Model 5FX for $259 at a pawn shop

VitaminG;

How is the neck profile on yours? This seems a lot fatter than the 1987-8 Model 6 I have. Maybe even fatter than my 2005 SL2H.

Seems like a handful. Not huge, but full.

How was that walk from Australia Gary?

Not a bad deal Don a little banged up you did good.550's are great players I had a surf green one.Think I paid $250.00.

[DonP]

This one is really dark, but the metallic is green. Like a very dark forest green. It easily looks black / metallic black under anything but bright lights.

[Johnnyryche]

That's a good score for that price.

It's comparable to my 87 Model 2. Full but not huge. Feels considerably thicker than my 86 Model 4

exhausting, Gil. Need a lie down!

My 1986 Model 4 is nice and thin to. My Model 6 is thin, so I just expected this to have a thin neck too. 750XL is thin too. That's it for my old school Charvels (well, the Fusion Deluxe is thin too)

I don't get it. Where are all of these pawn shops that don't have access to Ebay to check going prices? Nice score sir.

I'd buy that guitar in a god damned heart beat for 249, right now. Tomorrow. The day after. YEsterday. On any day of the week.

Just got done playing it some more tonight. Has a George Lynch sort of tone. Great sustain. I measured the bridge as 15.93K in circuit which makes it a J-90C. The rails measured 3.9K, and I was like WTF??? I took the backplate off and found the reason - the J200R is wired in PARALLEL instead of series. Most likely to get a clean neck tone. Sounds good so I'll leave it for now. It still needs a tear down and cleaning.

Yah, Forest Green. I had a 475 in that color.

[DonP]

And here's what I got for it on ebay.

You spelled its wrong - ha ha!

[DonP]

I give up. Where?

"It has spent almost it's entire life in a closet inside a case"

[RacerX]

its = possessive
it's =it is or it has

[SignoftheDragon]

its = possessive
it's =it is or it has

Unless, of course you were referring to [Addams Family Cousin] It's entire life... but then I guess we're treading into a capitalization issue.

[DonP]

Oh, no wonder I didn't catch that. It wasn't my auction Fooled You LOL!

I'm surprised you caught the mis-spelling, but not the wrong "sellling from place" (I don't live in Oregon), the pictures didn't match my guitar (which has rash to the wood in a place and a dinged nose).

But that one is the same color as mine, just better photos.

Would you still call it Forrest Green? It seems too dark to me.

[RacerX]

Unless, of course you were referring to [Addams Family Cousin] It's entire life... but then I guess we're treading into a capitalization issue.

Nope, the character's name is Cousin Itt

sad- in my race to be clever, I didn't research my references. Maybe I could've brought it around to Stephen King's It.

The rule would still apply, though- apostrophe shows possesion on a proper noun.

Watch y'self, RacerX... just watch y'self.
