  • Is this a good deal on San Dimas guitar?

    Someone just made me an offer to buy a San Dimas Star body with a strathead neck plus an old Mesa Boogie combo. He's asking $500 for both. Thoughts?

    Guitar particulars:
    </font><ul type="square">[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">birdseye maple neck with ebony board - still perfectly straight</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">has a poorly installed locking nut behind the regular nut - seems like locking tuners would just be easier than trying to fool with this</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">cherry sunburst flame maple top with creme binding</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">a Floyd installed, not a great job but it'll do</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">he thought the pickups were Duncans - hard to say without popping them out but I don't care too much about that anyhow</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Serial # is 1183 which makes it a 1982 model according to the Jackson site</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hardshell case</font>[/list]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Amp particulars:
    </font><ul type="square">[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">1x12 combo w/EQ and reverb</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">60/100 watt switchable</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">heavy as hell</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">natural all wood cabinet with wicker grill</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">the back of the chassis isn't preprinted like the front - it has stick-on labels for the controls on the back (like the dynamo raised letter labels)</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">needs a bit of work - it doesn't have anywhere near full output - probably needs tubes and some general maintenance - I'm taking it to a guy locally first to check it out</font>[/list]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

        Good thing you didn't post where it was. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I hope you're going to tell us you got it already.

          I just got off the phone with a very helpful person at Mesa Boogie and apparently the amp is an original Mark I (before they called it the Mark series). They have apparently reissued the Mark I, they list for $1099, the hardwood cabinet is $400 option, and the EQ is another hundred or so more.

          I think I'm going to have some new members of the family soon...

                I bought them. The amp is already in the shop getting tuned up. I will post pics of the guitar shortly.

                      sweet jesus that's hot. I'm fairly confident you could get your 500 bucks back out of it if you ever decide to sell [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] .

                      I think it wins the award for most homemade locking nut as well, but who's complaining for that price?

                        HippieTim - Was the neck pickup added on that guitar? My first Charvel had exactly the same flametop, binding, & what I know now was an added chrome Floyd. Mine was a maple neck, but it stayed with me when I sold the guitar. No particular reason - I sold it with the neck I replaced it with - they weren't collectible back then, just great guitars. I sold it in the El Paso area in 1988. Was curious if someone hacked in a neck p/u and more controls.
