Conan Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) I am selling this on behalf of my 12 year old son. It was his first guitar, bought for him when he was about 8.... Aaaw, how time flies Now he's saving and working towards a Fender Tele... and I thought he had taste! Let's be absolutely clear about this - it's not top-end gear by any description. However, what we have here is a guitar that plays well and sounds good. It's a generic "Strat" copy, as you can see. It's been well set up and has decent strings on (EB slinky 9s). The combo is rated at 16watts (which I doubt somehow!) but I can vouch for the fact that it's certainly loud enough to annoy parents and neighbours! It sounds OK too - but Cornford it ain't! He is also chucking in a reasonable quality lead (Venom, I believe - around 4m long). It also comes with the original gig bag - which is a bit ripped, but will do to help protect it during shipping and keep the dust off. It would be really cool if this tried and (well) tested package went to some young musician who would love, cherish and appreciate it. Happy to ship at buyer's expense - but would prefer pick-up or meet. He is looking for [b]£35[/b]. You could try to knock him down, but could you live with yourself after taking money from a 12 year old? Edited December 2, 2010 by Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 You're a tough audience! Do the poor lad a favour so that he can save towards a decent guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Have a free bump for the lad. I suppose advertising here will need people to know someone who needs it, I've thought through all I know but can't think of anyone. I'll keep thinking though.

Kongo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 TBH you could do worse for a starter guitar, these ain't that bad. See, Westwood approves his name on the headstock! Maybe try selling it on that point lol! Have a bump for em (the kid, not westwood ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him he would probably be better off trying to sell it at school but the problem is that loads of kids say "yeah, I'll buy it" and then they ask their parents who say no.... It's not really worth sticking it on Ebay, so I'll just leave it here and give it the odd bump now and then...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Bump for (yet another) price drop. Now THIRTY FIVE pounds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Why do I feel guilty every time I look at this post. I'd have this but as I'm in France, it'd end up as £120 with delivery. He's 12 for God's sake and making the effort to work and save up. One of you a bit nearer must have £35 to start your nipper off on guitar. Worst way, it's a bump.

Lots of love for Westfield basses at the moment, and , er.... Westwood sounds kinda similar! Snowy TIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 If there's anyone travelling from Toontown to Surrey I'll have it from you and give it to a young lad I know who's looking to start out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
