Good weekend to scratch my GAS this past weekend. First of all, the new mini-humbuckers I ordered from GFS showed up on Friday, and I was able to perform surgery on my Dillion Firebird knockoff to get them installed over the weekend. Too bad I'm one low E string away from getting the job done, but that will be fixed soon enough.

And then I made what I think is a pretty decent Craigslist transaction.
This:

Epiphone Casino (2006) with non-matching gig bag + $80 cash
For This:

Greco EG-500 (1980) with hardshell case, recently setup and fret dressed
I paid $350 for the Casino when I got it, and never really got much use out of it. Add the $80 cash, and I paid a total of $430 for this Les Paul. I know Casino's retail for more than that, and are technically worth more than I paid originally... but I can go into any music store and buy one off the rack if want. A bone stock, thirty year old MIJ Les Paul? Not so much. Regardless of the dollar values, I'm happy with the deal so that makes it a good one.
And I'll get to plug both the Greco and the newly upgraded Firebird in to the main rig at jam tomorrow night. Good times!
it has the sexy gold knobs..that's really all that matters for making it an elite score.
I hate you. Ive wanted a greco of almost any variety for a long time.
