They need new strings from the off, a decent setup/intonation..... a bit rough round the edges (ends of frets = can be dressed if a little sharp).... but can be made quite nicely playable.... seem like v good quality p/u's........(bought one for my son)

Pure luck more than anything else. There is no central repository of bargain-licious guitars - that would be too easy! These things happen by accident - badly described/miscategorised ebay auctions or face to face transactions with people who don't know (or aren't concerned with for whatever reason) the worth of the item concerned.

Right place, right time.

Probably one, if not the best, deals I ever got was on my Gibson Melodymaker from Millers 249 quid for the P90 loaded one. It's magic and my guitar of choice just now.
