[danagos]

Just saw this nice looking Pantera X350MA on Ebay US

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120618858676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Out of my range, but I thought y'all would like to know.

p.s. I am not the seller nor an acquaintance.

I think thats the one michaely was selling in a previous post. body looks nice - big nic on the lower horn? replacement PUPS? missing the toggle switch?
I'm thinking a bit pricey for the flaws, but none the less, a nice gee tar

[corsair]

yep; it is and he indeed gave us in here first refusal, which I thought was quite decent!! I don't think the very minor faults should affect the price too badly and he was willing to negotiate a little!! Nice guitar indeed!!

Hey Guys,

I still have my Pantera X350MA for sale. I have lowered the price to 800.00 plus the cost of shipping.

Please let me know if you are interested or might know someone that might be interested.

Thanks,

Mike

Okay, gang - Michaely has emailed me, to whit...

John,

I’ve realized that I’m gonna have to take a little less for my Westone! I’ll sell it for 600.00 plus the shipping cost which is a GREAT DEAL!!

Let me know if you or anyone else is interested..

Thanks,

Mike

...so if anyone's keen - and the price would seem to be about right, given that an X390 went for $1126, if memory serves....

[sarcaster]

In this original post it says "small hairline crack on bottom of headstock"
A good picture of that would be good to see. Crack in the finish, or in the wood?

Just a bit chaffed. I pm'ed the owner twice about three weeks ago, wanting to buy this guitar (for $800), with no response. I figured it was long gone and didn't want to bug the guy. Now, I've verbally committed to buy a red '82 prestige 150 off craigslist tomorrow for $550...would rather have had the x350ma. Not irritated with the owner, just the situation. Sorry for the pity party, I'm just stunned!

Amazing ain't it? I don't know how many "sellers" have done this to me too. You express an interest, or make an offer, and they haven't the decency to reply. Most often they're already sold the guitar or changed their mind and they're just too damn lazy to remove the ad!

[sarcaster]

I had PM'ed too, but I dont think he has logged on to the forum for some time.
I think it shows last log on was last Sept.

[cnevins]

Hey guys,

I'm sure Mike would have jumped out of his seat to have sold it, if he had known. More than likely he disabled the email notifier in his profile settings, letting him when he gets a pm or reply on here. Hey, hope you can grab it sarcaster. I've decided I'm goin' for the Prestige...the guy's been awesome (holding it for me) and I've been dreaming about that red-head alot the past few days. Throw a bucket of cold water on me!! Besides, I have a few LP diehards that need a taste of Mats brand of humble pie. Have a look-see boys!

[corsair]

He's not been on since September but has told me that he will get onto it ASAP!! OK, fellas... I'll tell ya, if I had the cash spare, I'd have it in a heartbeat!!

[cnevins]

I looked at the pix and she's a bit on the rough side, but if I can talk my wife into it I'll have have the x350 too.

It is a bit beat up, but it is on it's way to my house

[cnevins]

Nice snag 'sar'! When you grabbed her I was probably headed home with the 150. Rolled in from the 7 hr. road trip at 10:30pm...through a snow storm, no less. The things I do for love. Love her up!

[corsair]

... and both you fellas are going to post some shots of this love-in, aren't you?!?!

[sarcaster]

I'll have some up after it gets here. Also ordered a new switch, new screws, pickup rings to start cleaning it up with. Gonna repaint the bridge ( maybe powder coat it) and will be looking for some black tuners.

[boutjp97]

If they are the original tuners and they still function well I'd keep them. You can use riffle bluing to restore the black luster to them. Kits are like $20 - $40. Try it on the bridge also. Way cheaper than a powder coat.

[Barry]

...You can use riffle bluing to restore the black luster...

Oh...rifle bluing, as in gun barrel. I was scratching my head over "riffle".

Not familiar with that process - I'll look into it - thanks.

But I am still looking for some Westone tuners in black - 3 sets in fact. I saw a set on ebay a few months back and I shoulda grabbed them but I think they were asking $40.

Ohkay eye kant Spel reel goode.
