Ouch... Could you link his ebay profile ?

Torn Curtain 05.25.2008 07:33 AM

 


2005 CIJ Jazzmaster, with a few mods (AVRI pickups, Mustang bridge, buzz stop and copper shielding). I might put a US tremolo as the Japanese one isn't great.

The date of production is written on the extremity of the neck that is against the body, you can check that out after unloosing the strings and unswrewing the little metal plate.

Awesome guitar, I've been wanting one of those for awhile.

Cantankerous 05.25.2008 04:02 PM

the only ones you guys would probably be interested in:

 

 


this one was super cheap due to the fucked-upness of it. someone clearly painted it blue at one point and tried to take it off
 

copper 05.25.2008 04:07 PM

His name is intellectualfool. There's at least four other users that have bought guitars from him in the last three weeks and haven't received them One user managed to contact him sometime between the 8th and the 12th and he said he had a death in family and would ship out his guitar that day, but that was two weeks ago and the buyer still hasn't received his guitar. It's a shitty situation. It's almost a full two week since I bought and paid for the guitar and no word from him at all.

whorefrost 05.26.2008 06:25 AM

dunno if I posted a pic on here before, yo

 

demonrail666 05.26.2008 06:34 AM

I only started playing about two years ago and still haven't progressed beyond power chords yet. I have a standard black American Fender Strat but went into a guitar shop really drunk a couple of months ago and REALLY stupidly came out with this piece of crap. Sorry, don't have a digital camera so a'll have to use a web pic - not that I'd lie about something as awful as this anyway. And to make matters even worse, it's in white!
 

I wouldn't mind, but I don't even like Pantera.

And the moral of the story is ... never go into a guitar shop while drunk.

Everyneurotic 05.26.2008 09:42 AM

demonrail: the guitar player in my former band built himself a guitar like that...

...with aluminium instead of wood, needless to say it's a monstrosity.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.26.2008 09:55 AM

As long as you can make cool music with it, who cares?

Everyneurotic 05.26.2008 10:03 AM

i agree that if he wants an impaler's guitar, then lawrd knows what he thinks about it is what matters.

but, i have my opinion on what i find aesthetically pleasant in a guitar and that's not it.

I heard you were doing triple hammer-ons and whammy-bar harmonics in Andy's Guitars on Denmark Street, all to the backing tape of Level 42's "Lessons In Love".

I think it is. I couldn't remember what it was called though.

Danny Himself 05.26.2008 01:51 PM

I think it's a really pretty finish. I considered getting a Jazzmaster in burgundy mist but then opted for the cheaper candy apple red one instead.

More like a rather wobbly, simplified version of 'Beat on the Brat' with my tongue sticking out, I'm afraid.:o

It's pathetic really. My guitar skills are so limited but it doesn't stop me from dreaming about uber-cool, pro-level guitars. I really want one of these at the moment:

 


PRS Mira, about £1k (approx. the same in $s). I bet my playing of Louie Louie would increase no end with this. If anyone has a spare grand floating around, buy it for me and I promise to rep your posts whenever I can.

acdc518 05.26.2008 03:57 PM

here is my stuff
 

whorefrost 05.29.2008 04:31 PM

burgandy mist, correct. Jap reissue.

jon boy 05.29.2008 05:12 PM

my guitar cost me 30 pounds.
