      i have a 1999 epiphone nighthawk that is a real nice guitar that i recently had a professional setup put on it.really enjoy playing it except for one little problem….the humbucker is VERY week.that leads to another problem…..the humbucker is a slanted pickup.gibson has stopped making there version of a replacement.they had made two of them one being the super and the other being a custom.if anyone has any imformation where i can find either of those or a replacement pickup that really screems,please respond. i am looking for something comparible to a screemin demon made by s.duncan,or either of the two gibson pickups.thanx

      1. Epi Night Hawk Replacement Pups
        Rednefceleb

        Seymour Duncan is making 2 versions of the Night Hawk slant bridge pup. One is a J.B. model (very hot) and the 59er version, milder P.A.F sound. A company called Benson is winding single coil pups to order for the center pup position. Take your pick of mini-humbuckers out there. I believe that if you replace the pots and switch it is a good idea. Any of those “OBL/////” labeled pups are no good. Good Luck. One more thing. it make a big difference to install a $40 set of Callaham 2 1/16th vintage bridge saddles.

    1. Re: Martin D-42, D-45, or HD-28V (I'm looking to buy these)
      john

      After shopping for nearly 2 yrs for a guitar, I recently purchased an HD-28V for $2,345. I’d be willing to let it go for $5,000. Sounds more like a grand-piano than a guitar, and although it has no electronics, it could use a volume control when played indoors.

      I’m looking for a few used Martin Guitars, and here’s what I’m looking to pay for them (price negotiable)
      D-42 $1000-$2000 (depending on year/condition)
      D-45 $2000-$3000
      HD-28V $700-$1300
      If you think you’ve got a great sounding one of these, let me know. If you think the price is too low, we’ll talk. I would need a 72 hour approval period (I would of course pay shipping costs) as these models vary from instrumnt to instrument.

        jon

        Yeah, these are hard to find. I bought on on eBay this week for a couple hundred bucks. i have only seen them in red burst, and due to their scarcity, they will be hard to come by. the good news i have noticed is that its comparable to a Les Paul, and people would be more quick to cut loose their Del Rey and keep their les paul. I’d be willing to sell mine but for no less than $400. Keep checking eBay and other places…. I found them (this is my THIRD), and you can also with patience

        John, I have a Del Rey, purchased about two years ago, not the amber but the reddish color. I was considering selling it but haven’t been able to find the going rate. Are these really hard to find?

      R. D. Bryan

      I also have a XA-1630, purchased in bad condition, metallic blue with many dings. Price was $90 US. Completely reconditioned with complete shielding. The electronics are very unique and I would like info on them as they are different from anything I have seen, what appears to be audio transformers on the tone controls. The tone controls have more affect than normal. This guitar has the best sound that I have heard!! Does anyone have more info of any kind?

      R. D. Bryan

      : Ok what i am looking for is a web site of the manufacturer or a price guide or any information that is helpful. The guitar is a Westone. I am not sure of a name but its model number is XA 1630. Its the Anniversery Edition, 1922-1987. Its a deep purple color. I have been told that its only 1 of 8 ever made and the only on that is currently in the U.S.

      : Again anything on this guitar would a great help and appreciated.

      1. Re: Pricing for a Westone Guitar
        Brad Carlson

        I also have the same model so I don’t think it is that rare. I believe Saint Louis Music (SLM) made the guitars. They are a low budget but good sounding guitar.

        Chris Jensen

        The guitar you’re referring to is a 1987 Westone Genesis II XA-1630 Anniversary Edition. I have the same guitar and it’s matching bass in the same color, Burgundy Pearl. Not 1 of 8 ever made but not real common either. A great playing and great sounding guitar for sure. All the info you need on it is on the Westone website. Here’s the link: http://www.westone.info/xa1630.html

  4. WANTED:Westone Electric Guitar
    Chris

    I am looking for a Westone guitar. I think the model is the spectrum or the pheonix. It has 2 humbuckers and a single coil, and the tone knobs pull out to throw the pickups out of phase with each other.
    They’re not worth much, but I want one because it was the first "real" electric that I ever had.

    Email me if you know where I can find one.

    Thanks,

  5. I'm having trouble finding a guitar price
    Gary Rolfe

    I have actually seen the guitar I want. I’m a bit inexperienced in buying guitars. I’ve seen an Epiphone Les paul, I know the standard retails at about £299 but the shop keeper told me this was a limited edition, (it did say L.E on the back). It looks a lot more swanky than the standard and has a begsbie and is really georgious, a lot nicer looking than the standard. He’s pricing it up at £499 with a soft case. Is what he’s saying true. If so do you have one anywhere around and can you give me a better price?
    Cheers..

    I’m looking for a guitar pedal that was manufactured by AMPEG. The official name that Ampeg assigned to this unit is the PATCH 2000 PEDAL. It was exclusively designed for the HAGSTROM SWEDE PATCH 2000 guitar and/or bass – it can be used for either.
    This unit also came with SPECIAL CABLES (two sets?) used to connect the pedal to the guitar. If you have, or you know anyone that has, please… let me know.

    Hope you can help. I have a friend who has a Gibson, model Les Paul Epiphone, serial number, I believe, is 1100561, made in Korea. The problem is that somehow his output jack came loose and disconnected the two wire connection from someplace within the instrument. He wants me with my electronics experience to fix it for him. Can you provide me with a wiring schematic for this particular instrument? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.
