stingrayPete1977 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I quite like it! (not at that price but I like it non the less) Quote
tommorichards Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 whats with the hack job statement? does he alter these himself? Whats the vibe about this guy? Quote
rednose200 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 These people seem to have sold an awful lot of instruments. I have never ever seen a good one from them and they are always totally overpriced. Who buys them ? Jesus I dont know but there must be a lot of gullable peole out there. Dreadful Quote
ivansc Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 not just overpriced, but he seems to go out of his way to buy in broken or otherwise knackered guitars and basses! I would not touch him with YOUR ten foot pole, let alone mine. Quote
thepurpleblob Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I dealt with him once for a scratchplate. Sent me some scratched up piece of junk (listed 'new') and gave me a heap of unsolicted abuse when I complained. I know what I think about this dude.... Quote
BernardJazz Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I think he's sealed the deal there by adding a "Badass bridge". I actually quite like the look of it though. Edited June 27, 2013 by BernardJazz Quote
Stacker Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) To be fair, I shouldn't have used the term 'hack-job' as this example is not indicative of the oddball 'modds' this crowd get ahold of, the most famous being the [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1967-RICKENBACKER-4005-BASS-made-USA-/171004254237?pt=Guitar&hash=item27d0a5d81d"]Rick 4005 disaster[/url]. But look at this: it just screams half-arsed bitsa! Check out also the headless [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-GIBSON-MODERNE-USA-PROJECT-/170998631030?pt=Guitar&hash=item27d0500a76"]Gibson Moderne[/url] 'project'! They seem to have an interest in acquiring these guitars that folk have fkd about on to the nth degree. Actually, they have a Gibbo EB1 up there. Edited March 17, 2013 by Stacker Quote
One Drop Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 STAY AWAY from this maniac. How he stays in business is a mystery, he gives crooked junk dealers a bad name. Quote
paul_5 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Just looked at that Gibson Moderne "headstock got chopped off by a big old ceiling fan" Really? Surely he means 'circular saw'? I can't find a job at the moment. Maybe I'll be a woodbutcher as well, there's gold in them there hills... Quote
KevB Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I've never gone to the trouble of actually monitoring enough of his auctions to see if most of them sell. I wondered if he was just some nut job 'enthusiast' who wanted a public place to show them off with little real intention of actually letting them go. The pricing of most of the items suggested he didn't really want to sell them or there was a massive mark-up involved. Alternatively he might just be such a loon he keeps buying stuff in at way over what it is worth. Seems to have been on eBay for years and years. Edited March 18, 2013 by KevB Quote
