NGD and a GREAT deal

[dccomputersa]

So I was walking into a pawn shop that I haven't been to in at least a year and a half. The first thing I see is a Kramer Gorky Park guitar in a custom case priced at $600. WAY over priced even if it was autographed. Then sitting in a corner propped against the wall was a standard black case with a VERY nice bright green Carvin. On my way over to inspect it, I was expecting the price to be somewhere around $600-$700, considering the Kramer. When I saw the $250 price tag i was a bit shocked. I was even more surprised when I found out the case, strap, some picks and 2 mini screw drivers were included as well. Of course I told the guy I only had $200. They decided that the would take it, no tax. $205 out the door. After further inspection, I have found that it is indeed a US made Carvin, has coil splitters, is neck-thru, and has a Carvin branded trem stamped "Made in the USA by Kahler" I think over all I got one of the best deals ever on this guitar. And now for the pics.

Pretty good deal dude, those go for about 500ish normally. Ive never had any luck with pawnshops but i have had tons of luck with craigslist. $1400 strat for $299 once (still have it and love it); etc.

There's something about getting a great steal on a guitar that makes ya enjoy it even more. Congrats dude

Dude the authorities are probably looking for you right now. lol

[callen3615]

One other thing. How does that thing stay in tune with no locking nut?

[dccomputersa]

Good question callen3615. I forgot to mention that it has Sperzal locking tuners. Another very nice feature. Gotta go I hear a siren!!! Hehe

[Hikey Mikey]

Nice score! Enjoy that guitar!

[shreddersymphony]

Yah callen, you dont need the locking nut with sperzel locking tuners. One of my custom builds has a Schaller Floyd Rose with the locking sperzels and I use a bone nut with it.
