Conklin 7 string Sidewinder

[7seven7]

I know where I can get me a USED Conklin Sidewinder 7 string Electric guitar for $300 - Anyone have any experience with Conklin? I do know that they make some sweet bass guitars, but I have not heard much about thier electric guitar line.

Does the $300 buck sound like a good deal? What are these woth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks very similar to this one:

A used 7-string sidewinder for $300? Grab that sucker and RUN!

 

[LordOVchaoS]

I believe the pickups in those are worth more than $300. They're Lundgren M-Models if I'm not mistaken. GRAB THAT SHIT AND RUN!!! Or sell it to me!

Every Conklin I've ever played was amazing.... Unless there is an issue with the neck or something,,,even so you could probably make you money back and then some if you parted it out....

Well, that series was, as I understand, their mass-produced "people's Conklin," but those typically command double that. Those don't look like model-M's to me - they typically have large polepeices, whereas those are plepeice free - an EMG-esq custom job, maybe, but for $300, you can turn around and resell it if it doesn't work out for you, and I've heard they're great.

the pickups look like bartolini's to me...

Those pickups look like they're in a guitar thats worth way more than 300$, thus you should grab it

I think they're Bartolini's. Regardless, damn good deal, really.

Nice. ^

 

[Drew]

now that you mention it, those DO look like bartolinis, and are thus worth slightly less than the entire guitar new. Buy it.

 

[Shorty]

As the others said, hit it before someone else snaps it up

 

[Mind Riot]

Snag it. Then post lots of pics!

 

[Doctor J]

Do it. Buy it now. The neck on those babies is as fast as they come.

For $300 it's a Groove Tools 7. That's about what they go for used. Remember, he said it looks similar to the one in the picture. There is no way in hell that someone is selling a actual Sidewinder 7 for $300.

 

[Drew]

Ahh, I thought that WAS a pic of a Groove Tools. For the price, that's still not too bad, though, and I've heard good things about them.

 

[Doctor J]

I bought a Groove Tools a couple of weeks ago. Not bad at all. Fundamentally very nice let down a bit by the fretwork but, even so, worth $300 IMO. It has the fastest 7 string neck I've ever played, makes my C7 feel like a baseball bat.

 

[7seven7]

Yeah, I looked at it today, and the headstock does say Groovetools 7 - so I am going to let it pass. Thanks for the info guys!

 

[Leon]

well shit. and we were so excited for you

 

[jim777]

You could always pass along the store's number in case someone here wants it .........

The guitar is located at Bel-Air Pawn Shop Incorporated - (314) 832-2741 - 7501 S Broadway, St Louis, MO

- When calling ask about the Cocklin Groovetools 7 that they have in the hidden side room, they have a room that is off to the side, and I've been in this pawn shop a billion times and just found the room yesterday! The clerk said that the room has been there for years.

Anyway, I checked it out, it is solid! Pickups are not bartollinis but the sound is good non-the less. Real nice, Action is sweet, nice and low! I think it has a different scale though, maybe a 26.5, I am not sure but it feels different when playing as compared to my Schecter omen 7 (or) Ibanez Ax7221. Has a neck made from a few different woods, and it does not weigh any where near what my Schecter weighs in at, so it is comfortable feeling.

Hit me back if you wind up scoring this, I am interested in how you feel about it.
