  1. Anyone who buys that would get "fleeced" and then they would be in a "bah'd" " mooo'ed". Sorry, I've had a few drinks and I simply could not stop myself writing that. It must be some sort of alcohol induced literary turrets.

  4. My god that was the worst one I've seen on here. Imagine how awful it must have felt. Who would do that to a guitar. There should be a society for protection of endangered guitars. Guys like him should be put on an offenders register, never allowed to own a guitar again. That's abuse.
  5. Lees a top bloke. Bought a neck off me, no messing around straight business no b.s. trade with confidence.
  6. John is a fair guy. Helped me out a while back also.
  7. Sold Mike a neck a few weeks back. Smooth as butter. I recommend this guy highly.
  8. It would appear by this long feedback section that Tom is some kind of saint sent to us to teach us how to trade like gentlemen. This is true. He is honest and kind. If you ever put an add in the wanted section and Tom contacts you saying he has what you need, I advise you grab it with both hands quickly because if you don't someone like me will have it from under your nose. Good man Tom and thank you.

  10. It's worth what someone will pay for it and the buyers obviously not alone cos someone had to chase him all the way up to £520. I think it's nostalgia buying and Japan gear has so much cred these days it's ridiculous.
  11. It's not nice, the actual Adam Clayton guitar is quite nice. This looks cheap.

  16. [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1327931363' post='1518929'] I know, I am narrowing my market. But I posted it to a guy who was really keen, then he got it and said that one of the tuners was misaligned and the nut didn't fit properly (I've checked it over and can't see any issues at all) and he sent it back. So, I don't wanna be messed about again basically. I'm losing £220 on this if I sell for £200 (which is my asking price) so I'd rather the buyer try before they buy. [/quote] FairPlay, I agree bad experiences like that can grow a cautious bone in the most horizontal of men.
  17. [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1327928147' post='1518843'] Nope, sorry mate. I like people to see what they're buying before they buy it. It's the best way [/quote] You might be narrowing your market there mate. If you're confident the goods are alright and the buyer wants to have it shipped, I really don't understand the problem.
  18. [quote name='silentbob' timestamp='1327520844' post='1512895'] Yep, he's changed it. Originaly listed as Jazz pick-ups. Easy mistake to make for a professional pick up winder [/quote] :0
  19. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1327778458' post='1516723'] Use the classic Fender BBOT bridge. These so-called 'upgrade' bridges don't make much difference IMHO. They can look nicer of course, but that's about as far as it goes. [/quote] +1
  20. Hope the block inlays worked out ok. How about a Saturday night fever bump.
  21. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1327400710' post='1510464'] To be fair that colour, although it could be original, could have been applied at any time. It's obviously had some fairly invasive surgery to date (ie the wiring gouge and that chunk chopped out for the tr adjuster) so someone's obviously had a "hands on" go. [/quote] Very true.
  22. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1327396237' post='1510381'] doubt tokai, didn't they have 5 bolt bridges? end of a day, it's a lump of wood- doesn't matter who made it! [/quote] Very helpful:) I've seen this type of routing on a fender before. I think you are right to assume the cavity colouring is an indicator of the source. It's a not often seen colour and I'm sure the whole guitar was this colour at some stage. I would go to the fender officialforum. Those guys eat and sleep fenders. You should have an answer either way pretty fast.
