what do peeps reckon? i thinking of saving up for that, it's been on their website for a while.

in an ideal world i would love to own nickd's white duo-sonic/mustang guitar. though that musicmaster is quite tempting.

I like it. I don't know how much that is in American, but from what I've heard about prices over there, it doesn't seem like too much for a vintage import... It'd look nicer if it had a maple fretboard, though.

They are nice players Rob but the one pickup is very limiting. Still, you remind me of a guy i played with years ago and he had one of these but an earlier model. He was a talented player and was capable of a lot with that guitar, like yourself, i think you'd make it sing.

i think out of all the guitars i've owned, i got the most fun out of my much missed sg junior.

try and talk the price down. especially since it's been there a while.

Don't forget the customs charge, 50-100 quid if you're unlucky.

ok fine you are still saving at least 300-200 bucks

i don't think doog had to pay shit when i send the doogcaster over. or the malikcaster for that matter

Aye, if I were in a shop, saw it and I had the money in my back pocket I'd do it because it's like "I could have it TODAY" but otherwise id probably get it from the states if I could, it would work out cheaper.

I thought Nick was selling his for less than that? Â£400-450? I think it's quite likely to be a better guitar too.

keep an eye on ebay. you can often get them in the $400-$600 range.

Buy Nick's guitar. I hate Vintage & Rare's stupid pricing scheme. And they put "custom colour" on everything.

Â£550 is nuts for a 70's Fender.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 8:56 am

Drop him a PM.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

i fell in love with that thing at doogfest, tis probably my favorite shortscale.

Â£550 for that musicmaster is ridiculous. there was a nice '75 red white one on ebay for aaaaaaaaaages for Â£430. i'd hold out if i were you. that shop often makes me piss myself laughing at their prices, they seem to just add 100% to everything they get in.

but it looks like you might have found a substitute already...

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 9:15 am

that one of nicks is the one i wanted, the vintage and rare one was the substitute lol

If the link doesn't work go to the classifieds and on the middle of page two is a thread he started. It's quite old so the price might not be the same and he might not be selling still.
