Alright gentlemen, I'm in need of some cash in a hurry, so I've decided to list a small bunch of guitars at Quick Sale prices. These are all open to trades, but please keep in mind that the trade values will definitely be higher and that I really do need to sell most of them in order to come up with the amount of cash that I need. All of them are below-normal prices, and a few are criminally low for what you're getting (the DBZ in particular was nearly $3k new). Also, all prices are what I need to net, so not including paypal and shipping - however, shipping rates are usually pretty reasonable for me so don't be scared. Also, please excuse the bad pictures.
Feel free to PM or email me: [email protected]
Description: Breedlove C-250 - 9.8/10 condition
Excellent playing and sounding acoustic. Probably the best "affordable" acoustic I've owned, and is more than enough for most people's needs (and I have picky ears, so no need to pinch salt!). No flaws to speak of.
Modifications: None
Accessories: Hardshell case
Price: $300

Description: Ibanez Apex 2 - 9.6/10 condition
This is a great 7 string as far as I'm concerned - it's somewhat reminiscent of a 1527, but with a recessed TOM bridge, which is very comfortable. The PAF in the neck sounds great for leads and cleans, where as the Evo in the bridge allows for some seriously brutal tones that I think lends perfectly to death metal and leads. I'm not sure why the Evo-7 isn't more popular around these parts - I would honestly consider it in a guitar with a single Hum in the future, as it's fairly articulate.
In any case, the guitar is really clean - the only "flaws" are some glossing near the picking area (which is greatly exaggerated by the lighting in the photos), and some scuff marks on the tip of the headstock that looks more like a bit of dirt than anything. Overall very clean, and the case is like new.
Modifications: Dimarzio Evolution bridge

Description: Jackson DK2MQ - chlorine burst - 9.8/10 condition
For some reason, I wrote these and similar Jacksons off for the longest time, under the assumption that they were sub-par. I seriously have played this more recently than most of the other guitars I have. Everything about it feels solid and gets the job done - the action is low, it stays in tune, it sounds great, and it's very smooth and comfortable to play. Basically a fancy looking workhorse.
No real flaws, except maybe some minor surface swirling.

Accessories: Hardshel case, trem arm, etc.

Description: Fender American Standard Strat - Maroon - 8.5/10 condition
We all know the drill here. A few minor body marks, and a little bit of wear on the neck, but nothing dramatic or bothersome. The color looks purple in the pictures, but its more of a Maroon in person.
Modifications: None
Accessories: Gig bag
Price: $600

Description: Burny Ace Frehley Les Paul Custom - 9/10 condition
Maybe not a super well-known name in the States, but these Burnys are super solid LP's. Old-school Melo-death fans might remember Michael Amott (Arch Enemy) playing a Burny Black Beauty for years back in the day. In any case, this will hold up against pretty much any Gibson you put it against (exceptions, of course). The price I have this at is seriously ridiculous when put into perspective - whoever buys this is going to feel like they scored big time as soon as they pick it up. I'd love to keep it, but I just can't right now.
The only flaws are one clear coat ding on the top near the edge of the horn, and a little bit of clear coat dinging on the edge of the headstock.
Modifications: None
Accessories: Hardshell case
Price: $600 - SOLD

Description: Ibanez Prestige S-5470f - Viking Red - 9.8/10 condition
Every ounce of shredder that you could ever want. When Prestiges are good, they're the best (in my opinion), and this guitars is glorious. No flaws, no dead tone, no wonky playability issues. Super reliable high end Ibanez at less than half the cost of a new one.

Description: DBZ USA Bolero - Dark Red - 9.8/10
I never even considered these before picking this one up, and with all BS and salesmanship aside, this guitar gives any PRS or Gibson I can think of a run for the money. Granted, these were around $3k new (the USA line is no longer in production) and anything for that kind of money should be nice. Please try not to make comparisons to the import line, as this is definitely on a different level in terms of quality. The major thing that stands out when compared to those other brands is the V-shaped neck profile, which is surprisingly amazing (never really owned a V before this one). Also, the proprietary hardware is really, really cool, and the whole guitar has a sort of completed, novel sense to it when you hold it. Also, it has a sweet Croc-skin case. For $1000 this is absolutely a door-buster.

Description: Washburn WM-526 - Black - 9/10 condition condition
I say it all the time, but these are the best all around shredders ever made, and I honestly do not like Washburn under normal circumstances. These were made when Washburn was under American Music Corp., who also owned Parker guitars, and the actual neck on this guitar is just like those you'll find on the high end Parker Flys. Stable as rock, smooth as glass, and sleek as silk.
This one has a little bit of surface wear on the trem (which can definitely be cleaned, I just didn't bother), some signs of handling and play on the body (surface swirls and such), and then two paint chips on the headstock. Otherwise its clean, and this is another crazy price, considering that these have sold for nearly twice as much in the past, and they're becoming harder and harder to find.
