ST-PROs are as close to a USA stealth you can get, just beware the guy who is selling it used to be on here and is a bit of a nut.

The guy who Sold that guitar , sold it long ago...The "Nut" You speak of...That Guitar has been Whored out , and has seen a few owners, so I am skeptical about it! Again, I would take a ST-PRO in a Second over the other one, NO OFFENSE! It's the closest thing to a USA Guitar you are gonna get without it being the Real thing!

Just a TIP , but DON'T EVER POST where you might find a RARE Guitar and good deal at! Some people on forums are snakes and will Snatch it from right under your nose, I almost had it happen to me from someone on a forum , but Karma got him! Laughing

The only thing I've ever seen on that website from this forum was Bradley Brunette, but I don't think that's him.

I'm pretty sure thats my buddies guitar. We were just talking about that very guitar and him listing it to sell earlier this week. He's a really good dude and will not screw you over.

On a side note, I have a mint ST Pro that I will sell as soon as my bro gets his templates from it. I don't use it much and would really like to buy another head as backup or maybe finally get my PC1. My ST pro is transblack as well and its near mint. I have a hard shell case for it as well. These are as close to USA D3's as you can get without breaking the bank. I sold my DCR Razorback since I preferred the St Pro more if that tells you anything.

Dude, I said my buddy......Brad is not my buddy.

Thats Joey 4x12's guitar. He went by 4x12 on here. He helped design my home theater and I'm always in touch with him. Did some buying and selling with him as well.

I would say anywhere from $700-$900 is a good price, but I haven't been in this game in a while.

The most importing thing for me personally is the tuning stability and the intonation because a poor intonated guitar will drive me crazy !!!

Mines dialed in perfectly. Holds tune like a champ. Don't get much play since I got a few customs.

Guys that was Brad's guitar! And Sherwood if your buddy is the guy who is on YouTube , saying he bought it from Brad , then that's it! But yeah Brad Sold it, she has been passed around a lot, looks MINT but don't know with all the selling if there are any problems? Good Luck, always Loved TransBlack, & ST-PROs are more rare than the better Dime3's, but they are the BEST Asian made Washburn Dime Guitar You will Play, so Good Luck to ya! If it's in Great Shape , then SNATCH IT!!! Unless someone used his Photos?

$1500 at MOST is what I would Pay! Compare them to the "Cross" Guitars , pretty much... Great Guitar for a Great Price! They are not 333 but not quite Dime3 , & mix in-between ...Some of u probably know this , but for those who don't , just dropping some knowledge. U don't ever see them around , they should of made more...

The guitar my buddy 4X12 has came from the states. Jay Purcell sold it to him. Don't recall his Dean username but he's on Facebook and I remember his name from there. Haven't seen the guy on YouTube saying he bought anything from Brad so I can't comment on that. Seeing as 4X12 lives in Quebec I figured it was his. He said he was selling it for about that much. It's possible that another popped up and was posted from the same province.

Hmmmm, interesting? Sometimes people use other folks pics for there guitars...or maybe I just don't know what I'm talkin' bout Confused

Either way those were Brad's PRON Pics , u guys all have seen them before...Who knows who owns that tho?

Buy there is a Guy on the TUBE that says , "Hey YouTube people, I just bought this baby from Bradley Brunnette & blah blah blah etc...

I don't know Brad , heard stories but technically if it were not for that guy, I would of Never saw My stolen Slime on the Internet! Still searching , I mean I got another, but still am lookin' for her...This Christmas it would of been 16yrs. since she got Jacked from me, ugh!

I also have a ST. PRO but mine is in the cherry burst and I completely agree with everything that has already been said about them. I also have a Washburn FM Blackbolt which was also made to the specs of the D3 and the ST. PRO is just as nice as the FM Blackbolt. If you can get that ST. PRO at the right price I highly recommend it. That being said if you find a BSG import "Cross" or one of the high quality Funky Munky imports (Blackbolt, Whitebolt, Slime, Slimebolt, Blackbolt without the binding) at the right price I highly recommend those as well.

Ah, Bradley...

I can't see the pics, so I was thinking that maybe it came with a rare one of a kind guitar strap dripping with Dime's ball sweat handed down by the God's to his best friend the President of Washburn Laughing

Yeah, I agree , I mean Dude had some time on his hands and was posting pics & Spam like no other....I did find some nice to look a tho. I always kept gong back to his Threads but it got a little out of hand .Guy wanted a STEALTH SO BAD & he let the WORLD know about it...I just never knew why he did not wait for one to pop up on eBay , instead had one built, then bought a Painted one that had been tampered with....No point in wondering why, as I could give a Rats azz in trying to guess Rolling Eyes

But I ain't trying to talk bout this dude, I don't know him and have no reason to say anything about him, just knew that was his Fiddle, Diddle ,Diddle Confused
