Huge flea market find
20 bucks took a ton of parts, tuners, wire, (some sketchy rubber gloves) fret wire, knobs, 2 humbucker pick ups, one single coil, and two other older single coils that match that look like they came out of some weird chinese guitar.....also a neck, and a solid body strat style (I have tredto make into some weird 3 string monster...but with no luck so far) guitar with tremelo, 3 springs, oh, and also a square case I have started to customize to fit my license plate guitar and my diddley bow of choice.....for my up coming talent show gig. I had nothing to carry both of them in let alone neither of them in. I will post pics off all of my stuff I scored soon. The tuners are a nice find, now I can finish my plank guitar with out swiping parts from other CBG's. The guy at the flea market stand was just throwing it all in a suit case and was pretty much giving it away. 10 dollars for the case, and 10 for the rest of it.

Good deal, up by me any cheap strat copy is over $100 at our flea market, parts never show up.
