sarradan Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 just to let everyone know that the information offered for 4.99 on ebay on how to swirl guitars, is the exact tutorial on the project guitar site, they actually copied the actual page, and text word for word.Don't waste you money.

Thoughtless 7 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hmm, surely some sort of legal action can be taken. Selling the work of someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughtless 7 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Even if its not, the owner of the original work should have the say whether they want someone to make a profit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/INFO-How-to-Paint-Swir...1QQcmdZViewItem is this the one? Nice how he claims he doesn't make guitar bodies because he doesn't want to "cut corners" with "cheap wood"...Ibanez is notorious for using basswood...the cheapest wood available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrentis Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 How crazy is that. I wonder how people out there find an info page or some detailed instructions and just sell them off on ebay like that. Thanks for posting that, doesn't look like he wants to stop does it. I'm glad I got to see the actual link as well because the other one had broken before I saw it. Again, thanks for the headups on this guy.

digi2t Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I decided to email this yahoo, asking him why he was selling info that was already available for free on this site. Here is his response; Dear ******, The information now is far past anything on Project Guitar. I talk about dipping methods. Names of paint that work and are affordable in large quanities and can be customized. I explain techniques how to swirl your paint. Not just brush like a tard. Plus alot more. The Project Guitar site was made to throw people off track. It gets your feet wet and I tell you how to do swirls that you will be happy with. I can tell you how to swirl like the guys selling swirl bodies on ebay. The information I provided at first is far behind what Im selling now. Experienced Swirl vets have even commented I might leave out some simple techniques to keep their business alive. LOL Have I sold this info to you? -tiggie_00 I was tempted to repond to his question at the end with another email i.e. "No, because I may be crazy, but I'm not STUPID!!", but I'll take the high road on this one. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I was dumb enough to bite on this turd. I sent Mr Calvert exactly what he sent to me and it was all from the project guitar site.As of today his ebay link is still active.If he has found a loophole by adding additional material, or eliminated the PGF tutorial, makes me wonder who else he is stealing from. If he actually knew how to swirl, why bother copying pages? Are you that lazy you can't write out the instructions?. Every school kid knows if you gonna copy homework you at least have the brains to re write it before handing it in....jeez. i'm not letting this one go, and i don't think he should be able to get away with it either.As far as i can tell from ebay he sold 7-10. I figured by posting it on a forum where people would be interested in the subject, would be most effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Some things never change. Man, I got ripped off years ago and fighting it just caused more trouble. I lost THOUSANDS from that ordeal. What really bites is that it took away a lot of the fun and willingness to share how I do stuff on forums. Everything I used to post for free gets published and sold now. As a matter of fact, I'm celebrating 5 years in business. I make enough to cover the cable bill each month, so that's pretty rockin'.
