So yeah, went into Guitar Center to buy some new pickups. Preferably I was going to get a JP7 model, but they carried none. Since I have GAS I had to look around and I stumbled across this beauty.
So first off, its the Stephen Carpenter 7 String model (guitar player for Deftones) and while I am no Deftones fan I know how highly this guitar is revered. 9 and 10 reviews on most sites, praising its sound to price ratio.
Now it gets better, I found it used, and upon inspection the paint job seemed great, just a bit dirty. Everything worked, all the electronics it was just a really good deal. List price was only $250.
Now it gets more better. Looking at the pickups I saw that they were Blackouts, which run about $95 a piece, both neck and bridge had them, so a $200 pair of pickups were on this now (of which I am unsure guitar center realized or not).
Now it gets more better betterer. I hate my Dean pretty much, so I just traded that in for whatever they gave me ($90), so thats almost $100 off right there.
Now its betterester more better great. I recently bought my new PC and I am selling this old crappy one for $80, And it all goes towards the guitar. On top of that they agreed on $250 flat and no tax since I was doing cash. Paid for it, the guitar is mine.
Now it sucks, because I sold my only other (working) guitar and have nothing to play for 10 days....But once those 10 days are up I think it will be well worth the wait.
