mdw3332 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I have been looking for an LP knockoff to refurbish - just because I didn't have one. I found one at a local shop for $25. It was a no brainer - everything there but tuners and the bridge, pups and stop piece were gold. So I figured it had $25 worth of parts, and the body will fix up pretty nicely. The surprise was when I pulled everything off, one of the pups had a $79 price tag on the bottom. They are called "Super 70s" and a couple of places I looked had them selling for $60 - $70. Anybody know anything more about them? I guess they are Ibanez.??? It's funny, I bought another POS from the same place that had a set of old Kluson tuners that were used on Teles in the late '60s.

frank falbo Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Keep buying there, you might find a '57 Strat that's been completely encased in another, larger guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw3332 Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah, actually what I've been looking is for the Rickenbacker 360 in Maple Glo for less than $25. Didn't think it would be this hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 $79 for a Super70 pickup? I have an Ibanez lawsuit Les Paul copy that I bought in 1976 that has Super70 pickups. The whole guitar was $200 cdn new back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I'd say you got a deal... what kind of wood is it (if you know)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdw3332 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 It's a plywood body with a maple cap. Actually the top and bottom don't look too bad. As far as pics, I forgot to take the before pics (as usual) and started stripping it. I'm thinking of doing in a deep/cherry red. I'll post some pics as I go along. I think I'm going to use the pups in a walnut body I made. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
