Sketchy Craigslist Ad?

I buy used guitars from time to time, but I always try to make sure the seller is the guy who actually owns and plays it. Ten years ago I got my 1999 American Strat from a guy who played in a skittle/ska band, and it had a ton of nice upgrades like noiseless pickups, locking tuners and graphite saddles. Young guy had a wife and baby and it was pretty clear the wife had decided his pursuit of the dream needed to end. He showed me pictures of him playing gigs with it, and asked me to take care of it. I gave him full asking price.

The Strat looks nice with the tweed and sounds terrific.

Lake Placid Blue? The best of ALL Strat colors!

Well, to be fair I THINK it is LPB. Fender has had number of colors that are close, but not quite the same. Yours might be slightly darker. LPB looks different depending on the lighting.

Example under a flash:

I think you are right. Mine is more aqua than most photos I see online.

Good pic!

Trust me... Not when I play it.

Meet him at a guitar store, such as the Seattle Guitar Store near Greenlake. Electrical plugs, and you'll be able to crank it no problem.

I bought this Gibson J 150 off of Craigslist. $1800.00. Guy said cash only. I told him I wouldn't come to his house with that much cash, but would he meet me at his local police station. He agreed, I call the police station and explained. They said sure no problem..Easy

^^^^ That is one beautiful guitar David! Bet she sounds clean!

Since we're showing new hardware, my first Ric, love the "jangle"...

hoo wee! that is one pretty guitar buddy! Nothing sounds like a Rick. Yes that J150 sounds wonderful. Actually I think it sounds a bit better than my SJ200, but the 200 just hasn't been played as it was a case queen since 2004. I play it every day now and it is sounding better and better. That 150 still has the edge though. It's a special guitar.
