Sadly it's time to start letting go of the ones I have hung on to. I hardly play any more and they are just going to waste.
Plus shipping, preferably within the continental US. Overseas I cannot guarantee, and I WILL NOT LIE about it's value since it then cannot be insured against damage or loss.
The PE-60 Classy Lady. Again, when I got it the pickups had been swapped out and were some of the muddiest chinese junk I have ever heard. This guitar now has a Duncan Distortion in the bridge and OBL in the neck. The PO had installed the Bigsby with taste and made no new holes in the front of the body. The original bridge was toast so I installed a new Schaller Roller in it's place which improved vibrato considerably.

Aria Pro II PE-R80. I needed something that was capable of going from bluesy to Zakk Wylde without having to fidgit with the pedal board so the horrid Classic Powers came out and a matched set of OBLs went in. If you are not familiar with OBL, Epiphone for a short while was installing them in their guitars but opted for crappier chinese pickups. I bought all I could find, and all were NEW, in the package replacements kept by dealers. These OBLs are remarkably flexible, and can get as thick as you want them to. I originally had a pair of Jeff Becks in it but they were just a tad too bright for what I was shooting for since I let go of my Carvin. The following info was written before the second pickup swap.

All three guitars are strung with 10s and have been well cared for and are in good shape. They have not been abused, but make no mistake, they were played regularly before the arthritis set in.
I will have to buy guitar shipping boxes so that will have to be added to the shipping costs, but I have enough old newspaper to pack 10 guitars so I'll include that for free.
I've tried to price them reasonably. I suspect with the right pics and writeup I could easily exceed this on ebay that but I'd rather they went to good homes. I have more invested in each, that much is certain.
