As the thread says did anyone get thier hands on one of these babys. I'm trying to get my hands on the one that was given away in the pub I work in. The winner wanted it to go to charity so I'm proposing to buy it from the pub and let them donate the proceeds to charity...

How much do ye reckon this is worth????

€50?

Depends what kind of strat is under the gaudy corporate paintjob. Bog standard Mexican strat, less than €500 (being generous) but the Millerness is a big negatory on the whole thing. Do you have any more info on it?

this is an american strat and its also a limited edition 50th anniversary one which should make it worth a few bob in the coming years.

mmm.. hss? s1 switching system? i'd buy it.. what are you gonna offer?

i'm not too sure how much these are brand new. and i don't even want to imagine what they cost in ireland.. maybe 1500 or so abroad??

i wouldn't offer more than 1000,, then haggle from there on:)

I've put in a bid of 200euro hoping they dont know how much its worth..........

hopefully I'll be playing in style soon.......

got a picture of them?

D!ve^Bomb! · 05-12-2004 9:47pm

if you manage to get it at that price then i will hunt you down and kill you.. then steal the guitar to teach you a lesson:D

feylya · 05-12-2004 9:48pm

I concur.

Doctor J · 05-12-2004 9:50pm

Man, ripping off a charity, for shame... and at christmas time too...

feylya · 05-12-2004 9:52pm

Scroooge!!!!

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 9:53pm

Heh. Never thought of it that way. I like that!

Doctor J · 05-12-2004 9:56pm

Bah humbug, while I'm generally in favour of most scams you could think of, the guy who won this guitar did a pretty noble thing, it must be agreed, and then to try and pull a fast one for the sake of a cheap guitar (with one eye on how much it'll be worth in the future)? Well that's just not good form at all, really. It's the charity getting ripped off here and totally demeans the gesture of the guy who won it legitimately FFS.

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:06pm

Damn it you're taking all the dishonest fun out of it!

Doctor J · 05-12-2004 10:07pm

I know, but come on, ripping off charities, even I couldn't do it

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:12pm

Just think of all those critters from the Hanley Center and Concern and whatnot that attack you in town. It makes it so much easier.

Doctor J · 05-12-2004 10:14pm

Think of the poor bastards starving to death around the world. Kill the Concern freaks and send the money made from generating electricity out of their corpses to the appropriate charity.

feylya · 05-12-2004 10:16pm

Hey Doc, want to go into business doing that?

Doctor J · 05-12-2004 10:18pm

Just waiting on the licence

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:23pm

Count me in. Wouldn't have anyone saying I wasn't a charitable person!

:rolleyes:

feylya · 05-12-2004 10:24pm

Hang on, you need a licence to kill charity workers these days?

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:28pm

You'd think they'd pay people to improve the general quality of life...

feylya · 05-12-2004 10:31pm

Then they'd set up a scumbag killing thingy!!!

What this has to do with a Miller Strat, I'll never know. Maybe improving life through music?

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:37pm

Heh. True, but the system is flawed. Scumbags slip through the mesh of reality. Hang on a minute. Charity workers supposedly improve people's quality of life. If we were to kill a lot of charity workers we'd improve the quality of people's lives. Wouldn't that make us charity workers and therefore the enemy?

feylya · 05-12-2004 10:39pm

No. It would make us heros.

It wasn't me! · 05-12-2004 10:52pm

Yeah...

darragh o meara · 08-12-2004 3:16pm

if i'm successful i'll be keeping the guitar I've no intention of selling it....... anyway as it happens it seems as though it'll be auctioned off at acharity auction...

Miller promotional strat did anyone get one????
