I bought a mixed box of guitar parts tuners knobs buttons,pots screws and some bridges ect. ect. They where sitting on a table of a place that sells heaps of everything. Looking through it I found a original PRS mil-com trem, not bad for a box of scraps for $22.00
I already have some one who wants it

That's what I like about some of these guitar shows and swap meets. If you know what you're looking at you can find some nice parts and stuff for dirt cheap.

Don't leave home without it!

I had a parts box once,filled with such gems as the block and bridge assembly for a 65 Strat,tortoise shell pickguard for a 65 Mustang,block and bridge assembly for a 78 l/h Strat and various other goodies. When we moved into this house 16 yrs ago I had it all in a Peavey Decade box and placed it just outside the music room,my wife thought it was junk and jettisoned the lot.My own fault for leaving it in the path of a compulsive neat freak.

My problem now is what do I let it go for. It is a friend who wants it and he knows how I come by it.

I have a bunch of Gretsch parts:

2 PAF Filtertrons with pick-up ringsfrom '58-'61
a short Bigsby (same era)
bunch of Gretsch switches

How much? would u ship?


@CV... U really only have 2 options man.Let your buddy share in your good deal, or sell the part at value. Flip a coin?

I was intending to contact a music store in KY that specializes in Gretsch stuff to try and establish some kind of value. I also need to check the pickups to make sure they are conducting some current.

The KY store (I forget the name "Black" something, I think) may make me an offer or tell me to pound sand. I will let you know what happens.

How about that? In one of my many parts boxes, I have an OEM Bumble Bee cap I removed from a 1956 Gibson LP Junior way back in 1974! As a matter of fact, a 'regular' four pot Les Paul can be wired to work normally with two tone pots using only one cap.

I am such a hick. I should take a few moments and figure out how to post some pics and let the brains here at the FF take a look.

I already have caps for it, but I was looking at some of the repro's. The whole thing is a replica anyway, so I'm not too worried about having real old parts.
