CoryKer Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I saw this deal on eBay, and I couldn't pass it up. It's such a fun, stupid metal guitar, and therefore I love it! It's a Jackson Ke3 reverse, in transparent blue over flame maple [cough]veneer[/cough], with an EMG 81 installed. We'll see what I think about the EMG (I haven't had much experience with them), but if I don't like it, I'll probably swap the pickups out for DiMarzios. I also plan on installing chrome pickup rings instead of the black ones that are there now. Anyways, I haven't received it yet, but here's the pictures that were posted with the auction: Image 1 (92 kb) Image 2 (232 kb) Woo! Quote
canuckguitarist Posted November 1, 2003 Report Posted November 1, 2003 cool! feel free not to answer this, but how much did you score it for? Quote
CoryKer Posted November 1, 2003 Author Report Posted November 1, 2003 $350 USD. Considering it comes with the hardshell case, I'm pretty happy. Quote
PaulNeeds Posted November 2, 2003 Report Posted November 2, 2003 I thought that too, as my lovely wonderful girlfriend today bought me a PRS Custom 22 with birds in a lovely 10 quilt top. Blue matteo. Will post pics when I'm out of shock long enough to hold the camera. However, this gives me a wonderful opportunity to semi-retire my beloved strat, and to give it a well deserved refinish using a lot of the knowledge I've picked up here! Quote

I must admit, I'm now in the same boat as you. I'm gonna mod the heck out of my old epi LP special. I'm probably gonna sand down the neck and refinish the body. If I feel like it and have the cash, maybe I'll throw some decent pickups in there, too! Quote
