wow...setting new pricing records..I hope they are part of the gang here..if you are...pls say high...Ill arrange for a personal showing of a great kustom collection..which prior to the current ebay activity was not for sale (grin)..still aint...dont worry boys.. Im forever....faithfully...
but once the big battle is over I hope they will stop in and tell us all about their collection..hopefully these are big guns making hundreds of thousands playing their kustoms on stage somewhere..oh btw:..some little Disney show?..couple young teen girls..dont know the name..but their commercial spot showed them with a stack of kustoms/krossroads I think in their practice room.. I missed everything else about the add..will have to see what the show is...but other than them and Sherry Crow.. Im not sure where the recent kustom mania is coming from...perhaps new jobs in the market?...sure wish I could get one of those...

Budabol has a problemo with keeping denaro in his pocket. He's driving up the prices of all things Kustom. Check out his feedback page. He buys anything and everything! That's great for all you guys who have every model in every color (I've got 3 frank heads and a SC50 combo) so I'm alright. I'm not a collector, I just love to play through them but what about the young players who fall for the curvaceous tuck and roll and the mesmerizing purple light. I know it's just supply and demand and it takes two to tangle. It's kinda cool but kinda cruel! This entity needs to join the forum and shed some light on himself if he hasn't already. Bye, kustomise (jimi)

Kustom Rules!

Fear not Jimi......yes I have a bunch of Kustoms.....but they did not come over night. When I first met ET I would have given anything for an original Kustom nameplate! Within 3 years I had over 30 complete Kustoms in various states of repair....most of them working and used on stage! I have cut back to 20 something now and I still have a good supply! Believe it or not there are plenty of Kustoms to go around. It takes time....and the hunt and chase is as much a part of the journey as the "catch" While I have made several Ebay purchases my best finds came to me by word of mouth. My Kustom friends and contacts....local music stores.....pawn shops....flea markets and other musicians. Check with older musicians you may know. They may have or know someone who has an old Kustom lying around doing nothing! I have gotten several leads from older country pickers who had Kustom before they went Peavey or back to Fender. Get the word to local music stores who handle used gear....check the local trade papers. Check the other less used online auctions. Yard sales.....old TV and electronics repair shops sometimes have gear left for repair that was never picked up. Run an ad on this site. Some guy may be trimming a collection and have just what you seek. Ebay is like a treasure hunt....unfortunately a lot of guys with deeper pockets are 'hunting' too. I have been where you have been....and I still get excited when I see a Kustom amp I have not seen before! I am still seeking a 400 rig and 1x15 cabinets and more 3x15s and a 1x18 and anything RED or GOLD or CASCADE.......SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!! Shocked BC

BC is right..plenty of tuck n roll still out there...and even on ebay, these guys will eventually get saturated...I'm thrilled for em...to see guys with bread to spend choosing our lil kustom world to spend it in...makes sense really..the fender market reached its peak a long time back...hard to find bargains and have any resale room in em..kustoms are still a huge bargain...and yeah..hope they stop in to be friendly and share their passion with us...ya'll email em and say "hey"...
