Oldman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) It is useful for a newbie to actually provide all the information that will help you sell this instrument. Proof of how exclusive it is in the form of say, some photographs, a note of a serial number, the name of previous noteworthy owners of this guitar. In fact the whole 4 or 5 or even 6 strings of it. Oh, I nearly forgot does it have those wirey things across the neck at right angles or is the neck one of those flat, well nearly flat pieces of wood. Hope this helps.

leftyhook Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Fretted or fretless? exotic woods? Custom or Pro ? I have that strip of tape unside my bass too. " Pete the Fish (fish symbol) - April 1984" What does yours say Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 No, he's thinking where he lives and looking for some suitable snaps on the web and deciding if its fretted, fretless, 4,5 or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftyhook Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well at least we have built up some tension/interest for the seller. Always interest to see an early 80's Wal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Advertising this way, you get the impression the seller has something to hide. To me it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) He's given his phone number, so anyone interested could phone him. Would anyone actually buy something this expensive without trying it anyway ? You can't upload photos onto here, and maybe he doesn't like the way people have been a bit less than friendly. It's not like he's saying he's in the Orkney's and it's postage only . Edited January 18, 2013 by ambient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
