one of my spectra leads is now Australian
Just like to say that my '05 MIJ Spectra Sonic lead, has a new home in Victoria, Australia. It arrived as i sent it, even the box was unmarked, and the buyer is over the moon! 
Hopefully he'll join in the action here, the invite was given anyway
Now someone really needs to snaffle up the baritone....

Congrats, and now a big exhale! That wasn't so bad was it? 6 months, and payment hassles. Bet you cant wait to sell the next one.

any secrets to helping me sell an unloaded 215 fender dual showman cab?  I have the price down to $200 and I may as well just use it for firewood. sell the baritone yet? I'd have the top repainted silver sparkle and raise the price back up.

Cheers Freddy, To know the guy was over the moon with what he considered to be a guitar in better condition than most new store bought guitars,really made me happy! It seems worth it now....Tavo, yep the bari is still here, i was thinking maybe a darker metalflake cobalt blue....as for the cab, put some hinges on the front panel, a nice door handle off a caddy, install a small chiller unit and stack it full of beer  It'll never be in the way again!!

That Baritone has a custom paint job - it would be a sin to paint over it, even if it's not to your taste. It's potentially a future collectable.
I'd just put a wrap on it in a cobalt blue. These wraps in the link are not to my taste, but you see what I'm getting at: https://www.axewraps.com/wraps/
It would give the guitar a fresh look, and preserve the custom Namm paint job.
As Tavo found out with my old Union Jack Zvex BOR, a foreign flag just does't fly well in a domestic market. I think that Baritone will make it's way back to the USA one day.

Marlin, I actually use black kitchen cupboard covering from B&Q to cover scratchplates, my other spectra has a black guard now, so i was actually thinking along those lines, Cheers for the link, it may be an easier sell at home with a new look

Fantastic looking guitars. I'm proud of my Welsh heritage, even if I was only 3 years old when my family emigrated to Austraila. More info on these examples please cowmoo?

Tidy la, as we say round 'ere, where were you from??
These are Aria pro II guitars, not sure what model but I've seen none for a long while, they used to go really cheap second hand.
I'll keep my eyes open for one if you like, It would be a pleasure to send one of these out from 'Mae Hen Wlad Fynghadau'
I'll probably find one hangin up next to those guitars with a clock of Elvis in the sound hole

Good idea. I love it.  I also need a new chiller unit because my old one broke down but I am not sure which one I should buy. On the weekend I will need a big one because friends are coming over for the weekend. I think therefore I will prefer chiller rentals because I do not want to buy such a big one because I will just use it on special occasions.
