Really not my thing but I know a load of you out there love the old Thrash/Hair metal aesthetic.

It'd be a local pickup in Germany.

Fuck all, I'd say. About as much as the humbucker and bridge would fetch second hand.

Unless there's something lost in translation? It's just someone's homemade copy of a V, isn't it?

I have absolutely no idea.

I mean, it looks like shit but I wouldn't know what was original, what was removed or even if the body was homemade.
I didn't particularly enjoy looking through the pictures, I can tell you that for sure ;D

So, my friend hastily offered 100€ and the seller countered with 220€, at which point my friend told him to GTF.

I am offering this Randy Rhoads Costom electric guitar with an original Jackson gig bag. It has a Samick neck with 24 frets and an EMG 81 pickup. The body is made of plywood. GHS GBZW Zakk Wylde strings are currently stretched.

I bought the guitar used. The milling for the bridge pickup is available and can be retrofitted if necessary.

Active electronics are installed (incl. battery). The active EMG 81 pickups are classics in the rock/metal area. I'm assuming there is a shutdown as the battery has been working for over 1 year. The knobs are for volume and EQ.

The guitar stays in tune for a couple of hours.
Quite an endorsement.

kinda reminds me of my 24" lawsuit RR V. that thing is an absolute animal (in the best way)

honestly, i'd offer 100 and see if there's any bites at that price.

Looks like little Tommy gets a GOLD STAR in woodshop!

...and step-dad is PISSED because Tommy stole the wood from his 'projects' pile. It was going to be an ace cutting board/butcher block or something!

$50 - 100 in parts is pushing it... at least the EMG looks like it's real.

Plywood body: Crap. Really thick crap.
EMG pickup: The highlight of the whole deal, and where ALL of the money is
Remaining hardware: Crap.
Neck: Probably crap.
TONEZZZ....: PRICELESS!
