the hand of john curley Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 His selling bulls**t just gets better!! Looks like he's put a bit of pudding on too!!!

KingBollock Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 [quote][font="Arial"]I wanted to change the colour of the pickup by the bridge to cream to give a sort of zebra look, but the cover was bonded too hard at one end so it has to stay black![/font][/quote] That explains a lot.
yorks5stringer Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) What's an " oscilascope "? Is it related to an oscilloscope perhaps? Shame we can't see a photo of the nut just to see what butchery it has been subjected to. Do you think he's good with horses....? Edited January 20, 2013 by yorks5stringer
tauzero Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1358646045' post='1942880'] What's an " oscilascope "? Is it related to an oscilloscope perhaps? [/quote] Probably, but how he'd use one to set intonation I hate to think. Perhaps he'd hit the bridge saddles with it.

He's paid just short of £140 including delivery and is trying to sell it for £167. Subtract eBay and paypal fees from that and he can't be making much.

NancyJohnson Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) On 15/1/13, he won/paid £161 for this Schecter guitar [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130832259749?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D130832259749%26_rdc%3D1"]here[/url]. Within days, he'd [i]converted [/i]it from a 7-string to a 6-string and (re)listed it 24/1/12 for £347.00 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190789082180?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D190789082180%26_rdc%3D1"]here[/url].

shizznit Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Is it just me or does the nut on that Schecter abomination look really high? If so that guitar will be even more of a pup to play.
yorks5stringer Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Hmm, he's carved his usual v-shaped canyons into the nut but no mention of the action, he must have run out of gnats microbes...!
DarkHeart Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 why has he put 2 miss matched control knobs on when the black originals matched the rest of the hardware? `touch of class`? cheap and tacky more like! and why has he swapped the neck humbucker out for a flamin jazz bass pick up? the blokes an idiot.
jackers Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 humbuckers are 'only good for metal' eh? I guess someone forgot to tell gibson and gretsch that then...... how the hell do people fall for this crap.
mentalextra Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I wish he'd do some "How to....." vids on Youtube
