Hello, I am obviously new here.
I really only joined this community for one reason. I am looking for my holy grail guitar. I have watched for many years from new on display, to current values. Kicking myself in the ass all along the way for not purchasing one.

Unfortunately for me, I see it takes like 50 posts to get access to the buy and sell page. This requires more online social communication than I have done in my entire life. I am hoping maybe somebody will find this post and take pity on a social media hermit.
First let me say I am in no rush to find my holy grail of guitar. I am going to have to shift some money around to get the funds for said guitar so I am realistically at least a month out before I can purchase said holy grail. In fact, I find it stupid that I am going to purchase one wrap it in diapers maintain proper humidity in its storage case only to pull it out once a month tune it strum it a couple times and put back in its safe little home. It will be placed on an altar and worshiped as the quintessential thrash guitar (just kidding) (sort of).

I am looking for as close to a pristine condition Jackson KV1 Dave Mustaine signature guitar as I can find. I want it in its original condition LSR tuners case and all. This guitar if ever found for sale again would mean, I am either a broke ass bitch or dead. Once obtained I may sell my house before the guitar (kidding). I am dumb just not quite that dumb.

I am in the central Midwest US. I do not know how all this buying and selling works on such a forum as this. My used purchases are generally Facebook marketplace. I want someone who is willing to meet in person with said guitar preferably at a music store and I will bring funding in your preferred form, cash, certified funds, silver, gold. I am flexible on what form you would like the exchange to be in. I am willing to take a drive and a short vacation for my said HOLY GRAIL. Please do not waste my time on beat up overplayed example, a knock off, or someone trying to obtain higher than market value. I have waited since the 90's for this purchase waiting a little longer will not kill me.

So, if someone runs across this post and knows someone with one. Please feel free to point them my way, much appreciated however I am not rich so there is no real reward beyond a thank you for doing so and much appreciation. Yes, I do see one posted on the for-sale list ( @Exo-metal ). If I only I was social enough to message and obtain more information. I see he is asking high end market value.

I have attached a picture of an amp I have been building/playing with. It is loosely based on a jtm45/jmp50 head. It is my first build and I am still working on getting to my expected level of perfection, keeping in mind it is based on an imperfectly awsome Marshall.

Welcome to RT, Jim. A fellow Missourian! I am from St Louis. Yes, we have a 50 post minimum here, but it's not hard to get 50 posts at all. You can even look up some other Jackson threads and comment. It happens quick. Your amp project looks great! We have a ton of killer builders and techs here...dive in and once again, welcome!
 
Welcome to the madhouse. Essentially my King Vs are not for sale unless someone has money to burn. The cost of original epic era pre-fender lore driven by unicorns and a free market.

Welcome to RT, the best guitar forum on the flat earth.

You probably should've posted this upstairs in the main gear forum, you would get more interactions there.
 
I am gonna move your thread to the main forum where you can get more responses
I have a surprise for you just because you are such a swell mod. For your enjoyment, some rare live Buddy. I spent last night and this morning trying to find what track this was. It's either a guild starfire into a tweed bassman or a strat into a tweed bassman. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I just picked a spot it seemed like maybe no one would be upset about it being there. Any and all help on my quest is much appreciated.

Money to burn, Should I NO! am I going to burn some for said guitar YES! Free markets are a good thing. Currently I have been able to find two of these beautiful black guitars 4 sale or somewhat listed for sale. Yours is currently the one I am most interested in. The other one I currently find is missing 6 important components and they are all in a line. His asking price is the same as yours, within a Fistful of Dollars. I will not pay his price for an incomplete guitar. I do have about a month before funds are properly shifted so I can set fire.

In the meantime, step one achieved. You see that I have noticed you have a beautiful black guitar that I have interest in wrapping in a diaper and cherishing as the master of shred. Feel free to share with me info about said masterpiece of metal history. I do love history. As I do recognize while you are on the high side. However, it seems as if I no longer have to take my shoes off to counts the number of these for sale a year. If I am going to set fire to Few Dollars More, than a Fist Full of Dollars. I do want a nice example to stash away, to have and to hold, as well as rarely if ever play.

Peace Sells and I am Buying One

Thank you both for the welcome and amp comment. I am far more critical and not happy with it yet. Still learning myself about amp building. No better way to learn than to dive in and figure it out.

Missouri is a fine place to be, in my opinion.

Are you into fishing at all?
 
Brother I grew up on a lake, a swamp, and a river all at once then I moved to Florida and lived across the street from an intercoastal for several years. YES I AM!!


Well I knew you were. Wonderin' about ole Jimvg, another Missouri man

I know you did, I just felt like shooting my mouth off about it. What else is new? :LOL:

I haven't gone fishing in a decade since moving back to Texas. I have a musician friend that runs charters on the san marcos, guadalupe, comal, and blanco rivers but I don't even own a pole these days....

I am into fishing yes, just not Missouri fishing. I lived in Florida for a decade. Fishing just isn't the same anymore. I can't even eat shrimp here anymore YUCK! I miss my grouper; fish should be served steak size at a time. I do enjoy time on the lake though Table Rock is a good lake to hide on.

I like Table Rock, and Grand down in OK. Table Rock is getting very overpopulated, such is life I suppose.
