The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[wcl]

Heavier than I expected, haha. It is quite substantial. I am still researching it but so far I know it’s a win as it has the original tuners that are highly sought after and near impossible to find. Some minor dings but nothing drastic.

Sadly I don’t play, but an employee does and when he saw it he got more excited than usual and asked if he could play around with it before I got rid of it.

Any guitar experts care to weigh in on how/why it has different controls/switches? Comparing to others online it seems like they all randomly have different arrangements of knobs. All custom made? There doesn’t appear to be a standard layout... so as a novice I don’t know if my setup is more desirable or not.

The model is an ST824. Ibanez made a lot of basses that had similar aesthetics, but different details. The switches control the funtion of the pickups. They were/are very versatile instruments. Great find.

Paid up for these but think they’ll be worth it. Can anyone help with the maker? I don’t believe they make for themselves anymore?

I hope you can flip it. Just be aware there is no seatpost collar fitted (e.g. you cannot secure the seatpost at a given height).

Two mildly interesting bits...
Nike Undercover NWT

What's the model numbers on the fisher components?

And do not plug it in without at least a Variac.

In the field and don’t normally buy suits (and therefore know very little besides desirable brands) but decided to look today after seeing Golden Fleece at this store last week... worth me copping?

 

[sandfourman]

finally moved into my new place sadly internet still isn't on yet( thanks at&t for ****** service ). Gotta figure out a new place to photograph my items, but I got a lot of reading on here to catch up and look at finds that will make me steam in jealousy lol happy thrifting everyone!

If it’s for personal, looks good on you, you like it etc yeah TJ is a good buy, some of it is pretty well made.

Yeah that was some thrift thread part 1 muscle memory buy, I just threw it in the cart with vague recollections of people getting excited about someone finding a W Bill piece.
