New birthday guitar!

The Shocker · June 01, 2011, 06:52:37 PM

As some of you know I've been wanting a Competition Mustang, but the price of a new one (and shipping) from Japan was giving me pause. I was too late on a used blue one, but I kept searching. After a few weeks a used one came up that was a few hundred less than a new one. Pulled the trigger & about a week later this showed up:

This is the nicest used guitar I've ever seen. It could be sold as new, seriously no flaws at all. It's set up well, but I'll be putting some heavier strings on it. It plays like a dream!

Killer!

Enjoy, birthday boy. That's a beauty all right.

Congrats ole boy! I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of that lovely instrument and ...Happy Birthday to you whenever it may have been.

Ya know i just love it when someone finds their instrument of choice and scores it..its kind of silly but it makes me happy for some reason even tho it has nothing to do with me.

Happy Birthday, perverto.

That's nice deaner. Just you know, don't get rid of it.

It's a keeper for sure! But I've said that before. The only problem with getting a dream guitar is another dream guitar replaces it in your imagination...

What's the giant pick? Some weird japanese gimmick?

Everybody wins!

Beck is some character in a Manga that plays a comp Mustang. That's why it says Beck Mongolia Chop Squad on the back of the headstock. I don't care about all that - just wanted the matching headstock...

That is a damn fine looking fiddle.

Yeah, nice lookin' axe, deaner. Have fun w/ that fucker.

Wicked score. So many colour choices!

This seems to be some kind of guitar from a Japanese cartoon (Anime). On the pick is the main character from a series called BECK, and on the back of the head it also says BECK.
