Hi Doug,

Thanks for input. Turser Strats are going for $129 on Ebay, but I saw a custom Turser Strat for $229 or "best offer"- free shipping. The "custom" part was the middle pup was wound the opposite way of the neck and bridge pups to cut down on the Strat hiss. I offered $150, they counter-offered with $205- I passed.

All the close-up pics looked fantastic, and it had a beautiful tobacco finish. I've been real lucky on ebay- but never bought a guitar I've never played before. I figured if I won @ $150, I could mod it somewhat. Thanks again, and you have a good weekend also. I might actually get to play some today, lol.

Slim
