Not a huge difference, but I did actually do alot of work, and had to learn alot about intonation and setups and stuff like that to get it to where I like it, this is the Epiphone Junior that I bought for $30 today.

So, $30 and all it needed was a setup and cleanup? Good trade.

I'm not sure why you put it in the oven...

(I see the oven rack/tray)

LOL, nice Alan!

Doesn't everyone bake their guitars on 350 for 30 minutes to decontaminate it? LOL.

This is the first guitar I've ever done a setup on, there is a little more I need to do, but I think I've got it!

a professional setup can run you 30 bucks, so it's like you just got a guitar for free.

I'll do you one for $30. ;-)

Just drop it off. I can meet you anywhere in Seoul! :-)

(A set-up in a music store here would cost you $20 to $25.)

I have to say, though- I have NEVER had a pro set up I was pleased with. So bad the last few times that I've come round to never getting another one. I set up my own guitars.

Best,
Ande

Ah....well maybe you get what you pay for then, my guy here is a freakin God Send.

You drop a guitar off for a setup, you don't get it back for 2 weeks, that's how in-demand he is.

LOL!!

I try my best to keep everything looking "new"

Due to the fact that I got GAS for a Tele, I put it up on Craigslist for $70, advertised (new strings/pro setup/gig bag) I doubt I'll get that, but if I don't, I'm not going to sweat it, I'll get that Tele some other way LOL.
