I have a set of barely used bagpipes...tried learning but just don't have the time. They are in a nice case, real animal skin bag covered with the flannel looking material. Includes a practice canter and all that good stuff...extra string to get the connections tight etc etc.

I'm looking to trade for a good quality electric guitar in decent shape. The bagpipes are worth around 150-200? So a comparable or at least interesting guitar would be cool, vintage preferred!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place...had no idea where else to post. I'll get pics of the bagpipes tonight!

any particular guitar you want? I WANT BAGPIPES! i have a honda les paul from the 70's i'd be willing to trade, i'll even throw in a small squier 10 watt amp.

Sounds like a deal to me.

 I'll post pics of the bagpipes tonight, and you post pics of the guitar and amp.

here it is. it has a few minor dings but it sounds super nice. seems to hold a tune pretty good too. heavy as hell like a les paul should be. if this wasnt going to be a trade for bagpipes i wouldnt ever consider getting rid of this guitar. i'll find me another hondo lp sometime i like this one so much. the amplifier is a squier sp10. gold tailpiece and 1 pickup cover.

Looks good! The Hondo Les Pauls seem to have a love or hate it following online lol. After the quick research I did. Does this one have a bolt on, or permanently set in neck?

I guess the only thing we'd have to figure out is shipping. I'll get a couple pics of the bagpipes when I get home from work.

bolt in neck. pretty solid too as i like to press on the back of the neck to get a slight drop in tone but this one doesnt do that so well. i replaced the plug with another used one in better shape.

Ok here's a couple pics, sorry for the quality it's my cell phone and not in a very well lit bedroom lol:

Here's the case closed(the combination is 000 000 not sure how to change that):


Here's the case open next to the bagpipes:


The practice canter is in there, so are a few extra reeds, and the string for tightening/adjusting the connections, as well as some rubber plugs.

Lol, need any CB750 parts that I could send you too to upgrade to a better guitar you might have? (I'm half joking...but also curious)  :P

I have almost a complete extra bike in parts...and a bunch of new stuff sitting around...
