HazBeen Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I got a G&L SB1 in a recent (part) trade and really do not have any need for it so am sticking with my good 'ole L2500. Low exchange rate Euro to GBP mean I can offer this for 650GBP shipped insured to UK, maybe even 600 if I ship with neck detached. A real players instrument with dings, scratches and wear associated with almost 30 years of use.[list] [*]Neck is straight, frets have enough life in them [*]Pickups are the G&L MFDs, not the later Seymour Duncans [*]Neck is dated October '86, body November '86 [*]Old headstock shape [/list] Some particulars worth noting: The scratch plate is not original, pots are not original (capacitor is it appears), jack is not original, strap buttons are not original (although appear to be genuine G&L). All other hardware and components original; most importantly the MFDs are original. The scratch plate fitted appears to be a close but not perfect fit so you can see some little imperfections with how it is aligned and fitted to the body. Some people call it MOJO , sounds great. A P on steroids. Does not come with the original case (not present) but does come in a Warwick Rockbag gigbag. Apparently this came from USA as is but I cannot confirm or disprove. Looking for a sale on this only really. Anyone?

Handwired Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would never part with my 1988 SB1, it's blown away every Precision it's ever gone up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 [quote name='Handwired' timestamp='1426057505' post='2713783'] I would never part with my 1988 SB1, it's blown away every Precision it's ever gone up against. [/quote] 1985 SB1 in my possession since 1990. All the quality of a custom shop Fender at a fraction of the price. tommorichards - it may well be possible to still get a crackle finish pickguard from G&L. If not it will be possible (for a price) to get one laser cut and crackle finished. Whatever the finish is, it is b* tough. Mine still looks like new.
