If I'm not misremembering the details, it was on eBay circa 2002 from a Florida seller. I think the final bid was about $1200. Factor in that it was 2002 and your favorite companies weren't even daydreams yet. None of the pedals rehoused into that aircraft aluminum were considered rare at the time (EHX, Vox, Colorsound, Dan Armstrong). It was the best of what was available, when it was assembled (1980s - early 90s). Vintage prices for 1970s pedals were 1/3rd or less of what they are now at the time. Since that auction, I've never seen it resurface. I think it had wiring issues and needed to be serviced, before it could be used again. It might still be sitting in a garage somewhere, waiting to be repaired.lost in music wrote:As far as I'm concerned that is very close to ideal. Whose is it?

Yeah that's a pretty good way to fuck up the Gibson guitar that's almost as simple as a telecaster.lost in music wrote:https://reverb.com/item/5858602-gibson-custom-shop-corvette-sg-w-hardshell-case-serial-308cs009?gclid=CI7FppmP89YCFdCNswodC7QJSw&pla=1
For that kind of loot it should come with Robotuners.BetterOffShred wrote:Yeah that's a pretty good way to fuck up the Gibson guitar that's almost as simple as a telecaster.lost in music wrote:https://reverb.com/item/5858602-gibson-custom-shop-corvette-sg-w-hardshell-case-serial-308cs009?gclid=CI7FppmP89YCFdCNswodC7QJSw&pla=1
That's a nice find of the U-B persuasion. With a different color combination and tulips, instead of sperm, that could be a really psychedelic finish.coupleonapkins wrote:echorec wrote:If I was going to start an ugly-beautiful thread (things so distasteful they're kind of beautiful), then this would go in there.
