So I bought the Dean Gran Sport with the intention of selling it. Namely, I don't care for the active pickups that it comes with, not to mention it's not really my style. So, I tried to sell it on Craigslist and Reverb.com. However, with the economy being what it is most musicians are equipment heavy, and cash poor. In other words, musicians are trying to sell equipment, but no one has any money to buy. So we end up trading instead of buying/selling.
The last time I tried to move out some guitars, I ended up trading for other musical equipment and only managed to sell one. And the one I sold, the guy wanted to return it like I was Guitar Center or something. Really, I can't make that up. In the end I had put five guitars up for sale, and only sold the one.
So this time, I put an ad on Craigslist saying that I was more than willing to trade. I listed some specific things I was interested in. One of them being a Black Fender Stratocaster. Well, to make a long story short, one guy had one and offered to trade it for the Dean.
We met at Guitar Center which was halfway between us, and we were both happy. Now for the guitar pron.
I've had a tortoiseshell pickguard sitting in my parts drawer with three Dimarzio pickups in it. I think they will look nice on this guitar. So look forward to me blogging about that.
