vockins Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 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.
tomteriffic Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 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.
Hackubus Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 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.
DavidE Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I don't know whether to laugh or cry. So far it's been laugh.
Dumo Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 That's straight out the medieval blacksmith school of guitar repair and lutheire'. That's probably worse then the home made weight relief with drill press action I've seen done on a vintage LPs before. Is that better than a long neck tenon for sustain?
MCChris Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Hopefully whoever did that got his cock caught up in that mess a few times.
BadgerDave Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 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.
El Kabong Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 It is sexy. It reminds me of extreme genital modification and piercing.(Runs and ducks for cover),
Disturber Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I heard that it's Zakk Wylde's new custom model from Gibson. Reliced and ready to r.a.w.k.
Guest Meshuggah Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Looks like BCR Greg has some work to do.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.
Gino Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Changes my idea of a 'Frankenstein-guitar' forever!But I'm sure there's got to be some kind of S'n M / right out of hell / dark side of everything string slinger that might enjoy this!
Steve Haynie Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Looks like BCR Greg has some work to do. 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. 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.
serial Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 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. 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!

No-you need to speak the freaking language! 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! I saw this auction a couple of days ago, now I have that monstrosity in my head again...
Jeff R Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 One of the guys on another forum pointed out that the neck contraption is a great truss rod alternative...if you are suffering from backbow, just loosen those turnbuckle thingies a little and voila! LOL
JohnnyB Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 At least the seller doesn't call it "all original" and "near mint." We need to celebrate the victories in life as well.
marcus2 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 How about restoring this one?!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...atchlink:top:us
licksville Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I say, play it as is. No need for restoration. Well, maybe a fresh coat of paint for the fretboard but that's it.
Jason01 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Did you look at the neck joint? Thats gonna take a miracle to rework.
