Ryanesque Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I found THIS LISTING on ebay. I realize that shipping is 100 dollars, but even at that...this LOOKS to me to be a solid and really well built neck-thru Tele that just needs the finishing pieces. Even for 100 dollars shipping, that guitar would easily cost you more than that to build...and WAY more to buy it already finished from someone in the US... A) I don't really know that i personally could take the chance I kinda wish someone would though cause I would love to know if it really is as nice as it looks to be.

Tim37 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 i have seen them but didn't pay much attention because i am nervous about buying from overseas btw i liked this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcIS...em=170268323151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 First off its only the body and neck, Second, lots of guitars start off at 99c, search guitar and click sort by Price: Lowest to Highest, there will be heaps, they get all those last minute bids that brings the price up a couple hundred dollars. You watch that item and see how much it goes up before it finishes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Do a search on the guys name in google, I'm pretty sure this has been brought up here a few times in the PG forums as well. The work is poorly done. Thick glue lines, poor quality inlay work, veneer thin (shatters easily) inlay material, sloppy fretwork, the wood is never properly dried or stable. The list goes on and on, don't bother wasting your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryovanni Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 You get what you pay for. In this case a toy with no hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I looked through the other auctions...Burn marks on the wod at the end grain,rough routing,and the sg has the neck way high off the body to compensate for lack of neck angle with a tom... I would stay away...I know it is tempting...but really those guitars are wasted wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've been tempted with his stuff and one other dude's stuff before. I have to restrain myselg because of the HORRIBLE testimonies I've read, like Wes's. It may look pretty in the pictures, but the pics aren't very close. The few I've seen close-up have been just horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
