where to find used/vintage cheap guitars?

king_buzzo · 11.14.2006, 04:55 PM

for all you holland people, where cant you find them?
ive looked on different sites but they only had expensive shit...

we dont have pawn shops here as far as i know...

CHOUT · 11.14.2006, 09:08 PM

In that case the net is your best bet.

You have thrift stores, yard sales? There's gotta be some decent music stores, right? Just keep looking.

next step · 11.15.2006, 05:21 AM

yes the net could be very useful, I bought everything on eBay, payments thru paypaul!

then you could ask to remove the neck from the body for a more safe shipment, I did and works fine. then you should ask to declare something like 50$ for the item cause otherwise you have to pay over taxes more for an used item.

HaydenAsche · 11.15.2006, 10:06 AM

No Pawn Shops? That sucks, man. CHOUT's advice is probably best.

ive checked 2 or 3 stores already, but the thing is they're so incredibly overpriced and there are only the really expensive brands.

i found quite a lot of stuff that i like, but assholes wont ship to holland.

and yeah, we dont have thrift stores

theres a blackmarket next weekend i think and i will check that out because i need a new record player as well.

i found a very vintage no name guitar, only 1 tele deluxe pickup, mustang like body for 40 on one of those sales. didnt buy it though it had extreme tension

Jesus Christ... sometimes I wonder if we live in the same country, king buzzo! You make it sound like you live in outer Mongolia instead of in one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Do you ever go outside at all?

Of course there are pawn shops (pandhuizen) in Holland... there's a goddamn Cash Converters almost opposite of my work place. Google for cash converters or "pandhuis" plus the name of the city you live in. There are also plenty of thrift stores (ever heard of the Kringloopwinkel!?) or yard sales (rommelmarkt, vrijmarkt, beurs, etc, etc...)

Also, a lot of guitar shops sell second hand stuff... there's a second hand section ("occasions") on www.feedback.nl for instance. And I'm sure your local guitar shop has second hand stuff too. Also check the good old (local) newspaper for advertisements, etc..

And of course the internet... other than http://www.ebay.nl there's a ridiculous amount of online marketplaces in holland like www.marktplaats.nl, http://www.marktplaza.nl, http://www.2dehands.nl and about a gazillion others...

which you could find here

king_buzzo · 11.15.2006, 12:57 PM

i cant find any pawn shops in the hague on the internet.

only free add sites show on google search...

pokkeherrie · 11.15.2006, 01:08 PM

aargh, there are 3 cash converters in the hague!

http://www.cashconverters.nl/main.php?cid=19

http://www.cashconverters.nl/
they even have a webstore... and also an ebay store.
and there's a feedback guitar shop in rotterdam, that's not far away.

but if that doesn't work then maybe you should try http://www.i-need-a-cheap-guitar-and...goddammit.com/

king_buzzo · 11.15.2006, 01:10 PM

sonikold · 11.16.2006, 08:04 PM

king_buzzo · 11.19.2006, 12:44 PM

HaydenAsche · 11.19.2006, 12:47 PM

Sucks to be you. I just bought a new amp yesterday from a pawn shop.

king_buzzo · 11.19.2006, 01:47 PM

which one?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 11.19.2006, 01:54 PM

Purpleguitars has some NICE stuff. Check out this Jag:

king_buzzo · 11.19.2006, 01:56 PM

yeah man, i went there

that jag is about 1100 euros, and its Cij refinish, so i think it should be waay cheaper.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 11.19.2006, 02:37 PM

I wonder how a Jazzmaster with that pickguard/color scheme would look.
