T-Bay Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Epiphone Gothic thunderbird for sale on shpock, sensible price but mentions 'professional repair' to input area. I have a bit of GAS for one of these and if it's been professionally repaired then I can live with that if the price is right. Then I scan across the pics and find this: So what 'professional' did this? Professional plasterer? Or professional ice hockey player perhaps?

yorks5stringer Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) As it's a Gibson, is that not just to stop the jack plug being ripped out again as the headstock dives to the ground when it's being played...? Unclear as I'm 62, whether I need to put a ? Edited March 1, 2017 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downdown Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Doesn't 'professional repair' just mean that someone was paid for the job done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Does Mr Shpock have the cheek to ask extra for the distressed look - the one on the buyer's face? Beam me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
