Bitsa tele style thing!!! Suicide...

[itsmedunc]

Granted folks, I have had a few beers but I don't know what this guy is on about? I don't know if its the blue font or the lack of grammar but it makes hard reading? I cant read beyond line 2. It makes me want to die.

Surely, my mother didn't bring me into this world to to die like this...

[itsmedunc]

I have tried more than once and I still want to die before line 3?

The pic of the back of the headstock has made my day


Btw. I think he's speaking in Welch. We need a translator.

[Donnyboy]

How is it the morning after the night before?
Any more appealing?

[yepmop]

It truly is a FrankennonFender totally hideous in my eyes and a description to match.

[Hobbayne]

It needs the pickup replaced with a single coil Tele style pickup set off centre in the hole, so you can see the wires

[Bassassin]

Classy. Easy translation of garish blue text - ineptly assembled piece of garbage made mostly from shoddy junk parts.

Two nice vintage tuners on it (Gotoh Resolites) - presumably he binned the others because they [font="Arial"][size="4"][i][color="#002cfd"]"WHERE A BIT LOOSE"[/color][/i][/size][/font] - shame he didn't notice the torque adjuster screws.

Jon.

At least the seller's name is refreshingly honest. Would you expect good workmanship from a guy called badworker1?

Its no better. I wish I hadn't woken up...

[Roger2611]

I read it and thought my brain was on the blink, Stanley Unwin - esque at its finest

[JapanAxe]

I think I sold a bit of kit to this guy once on eBay, but thankfully I'm certain it wasn't anything that would have ended up on that... item

I'm a primary school teacher....and most of my year 3 class could put this 'persuasive text' together more effectively and with less errors.....

[itsmedunc]

Now thats interesting. How are they at lego and getting the right peg for the right hole? They could perhaps compile an educational package for the seller!

[the hand of john curley]

Well coincidentally...they have recently done a very similar guide for a chap from 'cleartone guitars'....he needed a guide to turning perfectly acceptable 7 string guitars into utterly butchered monstrosities !.....😁

Dammit !!! I was going to bid until i noticed the screw missing from one of the tuners !!! That ruins it for me . But it was good of him to point out that something was wrong with this fine example -

I didn't read the blue text as I was busy enjoying the pictures too much

[Bassman Sam]

Just shows that bass building and drugs don't make good bedfellows.

[gjones]

I think what he was trying to say was 'buy this piece of sh*t'.

Shouldn't that be "fewer errors"?

[ezbass]

A sad indictment of people's 'couldn't care less' attitude to grammar and punctuation once they leave school. I teach this stuff day in, day out; once children and adults get near a PC or mobile telephone, it all goes out of the window.

[the hand of john curley]

Apologies! I should indeed have used 'fewer errors' as the errors themselves are countable.
If the 'devil may care' remark was aimed at me then I assure you that this is certainly not the case. I made a genuine mistake-albeit ironically, given the topic-as opposed to the truly awful eBay advert!
In the meantime.....I'll get my coat!
