WTF
If there's a more insane neck repair in the history of stringed instruments, please post it, because maybe the shock of looking at that repair will shock my brain into functioning properly again.
More insanity.
Like '59 LP Specials?

That's the damnest piece of hillbilly engineering I've ever seen on a guitar. Except maybe Booba Barnes' sticker and duct tape covered Gibby.
Ouch.
The "sing to Jesus" part reminds me of when I was hanging out at the local music store about 10 years ago. A little old man & his wife came in & traded a '61 LP Junior (SG body). He proudly proclaimed that only "Sanctified music" had ever been played on it.
Soon as he was gone, I played every Sabbath riff I could think of with it.
I'm SOOOOOOOOO goin' to hell.

Good Lord. Is it that difficult to type the words "to be"?
"The guitar's nut needs replaced" ?????
No, dipshit, the nut needs TO BE replaced. It's called English and it's a language taught in most schools here in the United States.
I suppose the guitar is very "resonate" too.
Prolly.
BTW, nice paint job.
Edited to clarify that my use of the term "dipshit" is directed toward the seller, not vockins.

My first thought as well. We should pitch in, buy it, have Greg fix it. Then throw it off his building. No wait. Auction it for the HFC server fund. No wait. Get another in good shape and display them as before and after versions. No wait.
Better yet-- Buy the guitar and then eBay it again with a line or two about how the guitar was expertly repaired by Greg Platzer. /emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_ohmy.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png/emoticons/default_ohmy.png/emoticons/default_ohmy.png
The price on that guitar is going to be stupidly high for such a trashed piece of junk. I guess it has an old but stable repair. /emoticons/default_ohmy.png
THANK YOU, BadgerDave. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with my students (along with apostrophe abuse). I've taken to calling Central Pennsyltucky the land of the Shakespearean question-"to be or not to be". Of course it's TO BE, you FuKK! This needs done, this needs fixed, this needs replaced-WTF?!
No-you need to speak the freaking language! /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Ha! My sister lives in Ohio and hears that all the time. She's made sure her daughters use all the words they need when they speak. It's a pet peve of mine too. When I hear someone say something like, "The car needs washed" it freaks me out! /emoticons/default_ohmy.png
I saw this auction a couple of days ago, now I have that monstrosity in my head again...
