DVM's P90 Guitar Poll

Yep voodoo, right place, right time.

Survey (starter) says....

The Winner​

Seriously, I had no intention of moving on a guitar this quickly, but while looking at prices in eBay, I came across this incredibly CHERRY Epi '56 Goldtop, including a hardshell case, sitting at $300 with about 12 hours left on the auction. Heck, the protective stickers are still on the p'ups! The $50 shipping is kind of a gouge, but that's pretty much de rigeur for eBay!

Anyway, I got my wife to agree to have her & "the moms" kick in together for a Chistmas gift, and I'd pay the balance above $300, if I won the auction. But I had to agree to a "deal": I'd check out the guitar when it comes to make sure there are no problems, and then turn it over to my wife and wait patiently until 12/25. No big deal--it's not like I got nothin' to play in the meantime!

Anyway, I placed my maximum bid through a "snipe" robot, and ended up not only winning the guitar, but getting it for the minimum bid above the $300 existing bid. So I nailed what appears to be an essentially brand new Epi '56 Goldtop with a case, delivered, for $355! Not too shabby!! R

Congratulations. Did the seller say why they were getting rid of a brand new axe?

The seller is one of those big music equipment auction outfits, called Vintageadvertisingink. Almost 6,000 items sold since Oct. '01. They just sell 'em, they don't post the item history. Solid feedback, so I don't expect any misrepresentation.

A Gold Top LP with P90's - one of my wet dreams...................

Looking forward to the full honeymoon report, DVM!

[tot_Ou_tard]

Thanks for the droolies WackyT! And thanks for the droolable megaporn Vood!

 

[r_a_smith3530]

So you don't go poking into the closet between now and XMAS, you could just have it sent to my house and I'll keep it under raps for you until Santa time!

Just kidding. Anyway, you may have to check it out very well. I'd recommend at least a couple of weeks, just to make certain that there are no problems whatsoever.

Enjoy!

Great DVM. I love that model.. actually I almost bought one thru Ebay last month, but I had to give up.. (we'll have some expensive studio recordings coming up soon). I played one of those once, and it just sounded soooo much better than the model with humbuckers it was no joke. I still got the picture where Warren is playing the same model ehhehe!

 

[ET335]

Great deal Voodoo...Nice!!

 

[SuperSwede]

Congrats DVM! That is one smokin´guitar

So..... how are you going to mod this one?

 

[Tone2TheBone]

That is a nice looking axe Voo. Congrats.

 

[duhvoodooman]

Thanks, guys! I feel very fortunate to have stumbled over that auction, and that nobody else was bidding up the price! I was willing to go about $50 higher.
