Miller promotional strat did anyone get one????

darragh o meara

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????

feylya

€50?

Doctor J

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?

darragh o meara

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.

D!ve^Bomb!

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:)

darragh o meara

I've put in a bid of 200euro hoping they dont know how much its worth..........
hopefully I'll be playing in style soon.......

Creamy Goodness

got a picture of them?

D!ve^Bomb!

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

I concur.

Doctor J

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

feylya

Scroooge!!!!

It wasn't me!

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

Doctor J

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!

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

Doctor J

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

It wasn't me!

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

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

Hey Doc, want to go into business doing that?

Doctor J

Just waiting on the licence

It wasn't me!

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

feylya

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

It wasn't me!

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

feylya

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!

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

No. It would make us heros.

It wasn't me!

Yeah...

darragh o meara

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...
