ped Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Just popped into the Oxford Guitar Gallery to get a cardboard box and saw they have a nice 70's stingray in natural with black scratchplate. Very worn and used, bullet truss rod and 3 point neck plate and original foam mutes at the bridge. Bloke didn't seem to know much about it but picked £1200 out of the air as an opening price. Might be worth checking out for someone! The neck was dead straight. Cheers ped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Opportunity missed - you should have said 'can I borrow that to test my cardboard box out' and done a runner !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Haha yeah I probably would have got away with it too. Well you know where it is... do you need a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
