T-Bay Posted March 1, 2017 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? Quote
dmccombe7 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Is that not a standard electrician type repair. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted March 1, 2017 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
fiatcoupe432 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Ahahahah looks like something I would do Quote
Harryburke14 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 It might make it better for metal though... Quote

Dan Dare Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Look 0n the bright side. He could have used galvanised clout nails... Quote
Downdown Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Doesn't 'professional repair' just mean that someone was paid for the job done? Quote
Rich Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 The repairer himself may not have been professional, but his guide dog is. Quote
SpondonBassed Posted March 2, 2017 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
