Mark III Blue Stripe at Carters with Matching Vertical 2x12

[Nashville Riff Co]

$4k for the whole kit and caboodle…not the worst deal…I think?

Headshell and cabinet not original but look decent?

Not looking to buy myself but there’s enough interest in mark series heads here, thought I’d share…

I think they’re smoking crack but looking at how they’re pricing some of their Gibson’s it makes sense for them. They’re just another big city store that is impressive when you walk in but the pricing makes it zero fun to actually buy something you might stumble upon. Most Nashville sole proprietor stores are fun to “tour”, but I’ve never seen anything resembling a deal at one.

Unrelated to the Mark III, but I bought two sets of overwound OX4 pickups from them, back around 2015.
Best pickups that I found for my reissue Les Pauls, when looking for clarity and note articulation, with high gain. I guess they ordered them from OX4 that way, because I have not seen them offered anywhere else, with the extra windings (around 9K).

I swapped one of the sets out for Tone Specific Bloombuckers recently, but need to put the OX4's back in and sell the Bloombuckers.

Great shop with some cool stuff, but I agree their prices have inflated over the last 5-6 years.

YES! that was about the time they started stocking OX4 pickups and were doing their custom winds. I distinctly remember walking into the old store and seeing a bunch of them in the glass cases right up front! Killer pickups!
