I wouldn't go that far! Though I do still have 4 year old limes in the freezer, waste not want not!

It's an 80s Rick going off the pick ups. Realistically you'd maybe get $2k from the right buyer.

Those are the post toaster, High Gain pickups, yes?

Noted.
Don't know if he wants to sell yet. Then again, if I make his bill large enough, he may be swayed. :shifty:

That's very Auckland of you.

Anyway, I was going to make an hilarious joke about the boogieman under the bed. But then realised boogieman and bogeyman are spelt different. So move along. Nothing to see here.

He should really buy a new bed.

Nice guitar.
I paid about $1500 for a similar era 330. That has lovely yellowing of the binding and inlays.
The high gains are fantastic too.
I'd guess $1900-$2200?

I'd also guess in the vicinity of 2K. If it was a 12 string I'd start giving hand shandyies to raise the funds to snaffle it.

Slowy, you'd be surprised what a fantastic versatile guitar these ones with the 'Hi-Gain' pickups are, you should try it out.

Did you get the serial number? it's on the output jack plate. Would be interesting to know the age

I agree with all these sentiments. I've got an 89 330 in 'jetglo' and the pick ups sound awesome. The necks do take some getting used to however. What I would do for a 12 string!

Fyi, they actually introduced the hi gain pick ups on to the 360 in 1970. You need to check out the serial on the Jack plate for age.
