Ahhhhhhh !!

I'd snap that up in a heartbeat. Problem being I'm a broke student. That's a pretty good price.

I've got a mate who would like this guitar very much and might be interested at that price. Can you flick me an email - superock2005 at gmail dot com? With pics please, as I will send all on to my mate. Any info re: pickups, condition, what the finish was prior to refinish etc would be appreciated.

would somebody please slap "nariusp" very very hard on the knuckles! Is it not our civic duty to take pawnshops and cash converters et al for a ride in musical instrument auctions, or whenever possible.
Does it not suck when Trademe folk need to be whistle blowers and let these seagull felching pawnshop etc owners know the true value/ elk of their goods...
yes! i thought i might get a good deal on a decent lefty but now some righthanded idiot will pay some silly amount to look like hendrix in the mirror!
im tempted to point out how uncomfortable (not to mention the stupity of a right hander choosing to do it ) it is to play a strat thats designed for a person of the opposite "handedness" as you.

If you're in the market for an amp I've been led to believe you could do a lot worse than this...

I think it's about the 4th time they've listed it.. lowering the starting bid each time, but not if sure the reserve has also been lowered, and it's a touch too high, esp. in the current market me thinks.
I gots one of these and it's very cool... the 120 even cooler....

Well I don't want to mess with this guy's auction, but I'm watching it, and last time it didn't sell it was a pretty reasonable offer. I'm only a watchlist lurker, but it was tempting. Fortunately (?) my lack of any money stopped me from doing anything rash... :lol:

Correct me if I'm wrong Rocklander, but that Vox would be suitable for someone who wants lots of emulations of classic (read: Blackface, AC30, Bassman) style amps but not high gain emulations, which is where the Line6 stuff is stronger.
Judging from your Zakk Wylde avatar, the Vox may disappoint.

Just get a damn tube amp. That Marshall 30th Anniversary looks pretty cool for a small amp with lots of bells and whistles. Anybody tried those amps? They look killer but no idea what they sound like.
