......unless your Bruce

Belated!

Why wasn't he warned to stay away from the brown acid like everybody else is what i want to know..........

I thought everything was worth tree-fiddy on this board???!!!!! P.S. This by far had been the most hilarious thread Ive seen in the short while Ive been here. Really makes you wonder just what makes some people tick?????

So Nice!!! and looks like its in exceptional shape. Thanks for the pics. Love lookin' at 'ole Hamers

petemfa51, when and if you have the chance, could you post a pic or two of It. I'd love to see it......

Couldn't agree with ya more seein' a '79 Sunburst is my MAIN axe. Your story is eerily similar to mine, the playin' for 30 yrs, the whole Les Paul thing etc. My whole sound in the band I'm in is based around It and I couldnt be more happier or for that matter sound any better. I honestly can finally say Ive found the "ONE"! It just has the elusive "IT" that has escaped me for the longest time. Kudos.......

I would have to say the tone that really did it for me and really made me rethink the tone I had and the tone I wanted was probably CC Deville's and those great early Poison recordings............ Seriously though, when I started playin guitar all those years ago, I was pretty naive and mostly concerned with chops/licks etc. I never really considered just how important tone was till I discovered Billy Gibbons and then it just clicked. From then on I would notice different guitarist's tones, how they got them, what equipment they used etc.

Wow!, how can you not like or at least appreciate "The Beach Boys". I mean the harmonies alone..... p.s. sorry for chiming in like that. You just dont hear that very much about someone not liking The Beach Boys. Caught me off-gaurd. Having said that, i am not a Mike Love fan either (he was and im sure will always be an unappreciative asshole). That is my point. You may not particularly like them but you can at least see and admire or appreciate what makes them a very influential band. I mean c'mon just look at the deep meanings in the songs and the message they were tryin to convey...................Cars and surfin' are bitchin' and Chicks rule! LOL!!!!

One of my faves if not my all-time was early 80's, Miles Davis w/Mike Stern on guitar on a double bill with the Pat Metheny Group on an absolutely beauful summer night outdoors when they used to have the Concerts on the Common in Boston, Ma. Wow, the memories of Miles turnin' around and yellin at Mike Stern to "play like Jimi'! LOL!!!!

Believe me I thought that was somewhat strange myself. At this point, just happy this stupid ass thing is coming to a close. He should get it today, as I type this I'm waiting for a guitar to come in off the truck and all will be well in the world.......

Actually, I was just about to take your advice and do just that when i received an email from him. He apologized, explained to me he sold his only guitar to buy this one and had a paying gig he missed because he only lived a few states over and thought he would have it. Being a musician for 30 yrs. and many paying gigs, I do understand his fustration and I feel better now that he finally "cooled his heels" Lol. Went on to say a negative would only be a lose/lose situation which is so true. Anyways, thanks for the suggestions I can tell just by reading the thread you guys have been around the block on ebay a few hundred times. I hear the horror stories on ebay and I just did not see what the deal was with this one. As risky as ebay can be I have got some seriously great deals on some seriously high quality guitars.

What you did wrong was not telling the guy to f*ck off in the first place in my opinion . Also, I don't see how the fact that you weren't paid right away should entitle you to delay paying for an item you won in another auction? As far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't bid on something if you can't pay for it as soon as the auction is completed, be it a regular auction or a buy-it-now situation, but that's just me. -Austin Actually, let me clarify. when I won the auction for the guitar I bought he had listed "payment due within 7 days", so I was well within those 7 days. I won my auction on Saturday and just happened to email him to let him know I'd be paying him Monday, figuring I'd have his payment by then. I ended up paying him Tuesday. I had 7 days from Saturday to pay him, which even If the guy didnt pay me I would have taken it out of my paycheck Thursday anyways. So I would have beem alright either way and it would have been paid for. I would never bid on an auction without being able to cover it by the due date. That would have kinda made this whole thread a mute point. I dont do that sort of stuff. I try to do things in a timely and reasonable fashion which I thought I had done with my auction and I'm getting nothing but S**T !. I mean Jeez, He got a nice guitar for a nice price, paid when he had the money,and I shipped in 3 days. But that is my question I guess out of all this. Is shipping in 3 days reasonable or does he have a reasonable gripe? Ha!, I was already thinking about that if I have to send this same kinda response to ebay if he sends in a complaint. Although I cant imagine what He'd write to ebay. What would he say "Hey this guy's a jerk, he didnt mail my guitar out till 3 days after the payment". After some of the ebay horror stories Ive heard, they'd probably think It's a joke..... Although with my luck.......

LMAO!!!
