LukeFRC Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 now I can understand people who collect guitars. and players who enjoy having vintage instruments. And I can understand people who buy various old parts and put together their own 'vintage' bass. And I can understand why folk would pay a lot for old parts. But for a wrecked old fender neck? I mean it's not going to be too 'collectable' and as a player for that sort of money I could get a brand new custom build or at the moment, in these sale forums pretty much anything I wanted!

Ou7shined Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1335720004' post='1634993'] why on earth would anyone have sanded a neck like that? [/quote] It looks to me like it has been set on fire and someone has attempted to remove the charred bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1335721763' post='1635018'] I thought the burn marks were from an orbital sander. [/quote] same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides if it was, you'd just remove it - friction burns don't go deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've bought from that seller before.... twice! My parts were a great deal cheaper & in much better shape. Go figure!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick's Fine '52 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 And I thought this was a sadly mutilated neck!! Actually, this is a shame, because its otherwise a lovely neck, flush truss rod, nice decal, frets and board, and then.......oh dear.
