Johnfig66 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Original 1988 Warwick Thumb 4-string for sale. Through neck, made from Bubinga and Wenge. EMG pickups. I bought this new in 1988, and have looked after it with the care a guitar of this nature deserves. It has the usual scuffs you would associate with a guitar of this age, but it is in excellent condition. The only repairs it has had are a new input socket and a new volume pot, which were both fitted around 3 weeks ago by a wonderful luthier based here in Liverpool. According to Warwick, it was "built in in Eggolsheim, West Germany, in 1988, and was one of the first with a serial number beginning 1538." It's up for sale at 1600 quid (sorry, pound sign has stopped working on my keyboard), and I'd prefer it to be collected, as I've had some bad experiences with couriers. However, if you're really interested and postage is the only option, then I'll certainly make enquiries as to the cost. I'll also consider a trade if you have a decent bass you might want to include. Thanks, John.[attachment=127477:IMG_1243.jpg][attachment=127478:IMG_1244.jpg][attachment=127479:IMG_1245.jpg][attachment=127480:IMG_1246.jpg][attachment=127481:IMG_1247.jpg][attachment=127482:IMG_1248.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just to say... I started chatting to John via ebay when watching his auction for this- I suggested he stick it on here, and chatting to him he seems a nice fella. I just wish I had the £££££ !
