  1. I was visualising one of these...
  2. What’s a carnet?
  3. A faker sold for £700 (well, £699 + £25 p&p) today. Real Rics can be had for £1000.
  4. I’ve got real Ric and fakers, no problem.
  5. There are some Ric-centric groups on Facebook. otherwise try trawling the ads on ebay, gumtree, and other sites.
  6. Maybe they should've used different tuners for that headstock...
  7. I haven't bought a guitar for a couple of weeks now... ...and I've finished and nearly finished two projects.
  8. Maybe the tools available to imprisoned luthiers aren't so great...
  9. Definitely a keeper... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAND-MADE-ELECTEIC-GUITAR-HAND-MADE-LES-PAUL-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-PROJECT-WOODEN/324008736773
  10. The output focused into a super-beam which could destroy death stars!
  11. I reckon it's covered in boot polish.
  12. I take your point on the low start - I guess folks pay what they will, then...
  13. There's a picture of Bill Wyman playing one too. Sadly mine needs serious work to get it going, probably more than the value of the instrument...
  14. Yep - the gold paint "Fender" logo was a special touch. I'm looking to get it back to as near to original as I can. On the plus side, I bought it at a car boot for a fiver!
  15. I've got a couple of basses which I expect to be in the "thuddy" domain once they're brought back to life. One is a Vox Clubman. And the other is a Shaftesbury Ric(-ish) semi copy. Both need extensive work; the Vox is nearest, as I've nearly sanded the body down.
  16. Can anybody help me on this: I need a set of machines for a Levinson Blade neck it's a Japanese Texas model. I've finished a couple of projects, so I'd like to get the guitar I've built around this finished... I'd like to do it without drilling new holes. Thanks!
  17. My scepticism is tangible...
  18. A hacked Squier (though it has got CTS pots and a Sprague cap, which add gazillions to the value!). Oh, but the bridge & pickup covers aren't included... But then again it's got a hardwood thumb pull.
  19. £600 - ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
  20. The nick is on the Earth connector edge, so no safety issue there.
  21. A crimble present for someone they don't like?
  22. Well, I don't think I can unsee it.
  23. Yes - a clickbait title and then when you read the details...
  24. Cockamamey - that's a word!
  25. But the title of the auction is: "Genuine Fender 1973 Telecaster P bass guitar Precision Jazz roadworn 70's 51P" The details then clarify that half of the instrument isn't "Genuine Fender 1973".
