My new Chromy Toy! - Yes....it was the deal of the century!

Well...I got it. *My shiny new JS10th has arrived, and I'm definitely impressed. *It was described as being "mint" and its probably more like mint minus. *NOT dead mint, but...VERY nice. *There is some VERY faint swirling from polishing and what may be some faint pick marks on the front, along with a couple of faint marks on the back. *Aside from the usual factory bubbling, etc., it's VERY clean! *I definitely can't complain. *The case and all goodies are in present and accounted for as well: strap, cable, warranty, owner's manual, etc. *Overall, probably a 9/10. *Not sure if I'm going to keep it though. *It's nice enough that I'd feel bad gigging with it. *I think it'll probably have to go to make room for some more practical gigging guitars

PICS Please! We all want to know what an $800 chrome-boy looks like!

Rich · #7 08-06-2001, 03:24 PM

It looks just like one that's $2250 :biggrin:

vaijem777 · #8 08-06-2001, 04:32 PM

Exactly as Rich said...it bears a striking resemblance to a $2250-$2400 Chromeboy. *

*It's just like any JS, but much shinier. *I'll try to get some pics up though if you really want some.

Geez. *Who did you fleece? *I want to know if they have other guitars.

Here's a front pic- It's kinda linty-had some fuzz from the polishing cloth on it.

All I can say is don't sell it!! Keep it forever, and then when you do pass away have them put it in the casket next to you!! until then play the hell out of it!! :biggrin:

I would love to keep it, but...I've already got #008 that's dead mint. *I was kinda hoping that the one I just bought would have a bit more play wear on it-then I could use it. *But, it's in really nice shape, so I really can't justify having two killer guitars that I can't play! *It's hard enough leaving one alone...it'd be torture to have two that have the "look but don't touch for fear of scratching" rule *

RSVampire · #15 08-11-2001, 02:28 AM

man screw that! If you have 2...play the hell out of 1....and keep the other dead mint....simple idea from a simple mind *gets distracted by a dog with a fluffy tail*
