Thats a great price!

My favourite sounding Line6 amp is the Spider Valve MK1. SpiderIII Head and cab for R3k, not bad at all.

I want to check this out but it seems a bit limited compared to the other spider models. Am I imagining things? What do you guys reckon?

:O Could this be an original '69? Aren't these worth a fortune or something?

THose are already in the shops. I've seen them at Music Connection and at McGibbon's. They have a built in amp so you can take it to the ground and duke it out with the guy next door's vuvuzela.

Can't figure if this is a good deal or not? Is a broken truss rod a big deal? ?

inflames

Probably the funniest add I have ever seen:

Truss rod is fucked. Before breaking the whole thing, I tried to adjust the rod due to a slight warp the other day after work and after a few pints. Heard the unmistakably sound that wood can't win against metal.

Some random dude gave me a quote for the repair, it all ended insulting each other. I won't disclose details, it's ugly.

I don't think it is a bad deal at all!

IceCreamMan

Saw that ad as well and i reckon it could be a super sweet deal

inflames

I think one of the JHB boys should go and view the guitar.
Give us CPT guys some feedback!

Isn't this guitar the cheapest Gibson Les Paul available? Something like +/- $800?
Is the guitar chambered?
Wouldn't a top of the range Epiphone or even Tokai be better?

Now fixing the stripped truss rod (?) or broken truss rod: how much are we looking at? Is it repairable for a reasonable fee or does one has to simply throw the neck away and get a new one?

I'm thinking that repairing a truss rod involves removing the fingerboard, dig out the truss rod, replace it, reglue the board and refinish the neck.
That's what it says here: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tools/Special_tools_for:_Truss_rods/Truss_Rod_Rescue_Kit.html
Or buy the kit from that vendor.
