Imiss85 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 This guy has to belong to this board, if he doesn't, he should. Here's his description from HC. Overall Rating: 1I have played since I was 12 years old, this makes 35 years now. I have a Taylor 910ce and Seagull S6. I wish I had asked how many were returned. This guitar cannot be stolen or sold, I reworked the face on the guitar and made it into a toilet seat for my outhouse at the cabin. The rest of it I am ashamed to say I put in the trash. I was afraid of the chemicals they used would poison me if I used them in the fireplace or used as mulch. This was an impulse purchase for a cheapie guitar for the cabin. All I wanted was a cheap cheap guitar. This thing is better as toilet seat than it ever was as guitar.
tgoss Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I just laugh/cringe everytime someone brings one into the store and asks me to make it "play better" HA!
BCR Greg Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I had someone bring one in and ask me to make it "work", I turned in over and used the neck to stir the trash around in the can.He got it.
tobereeno Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 just how many of these "estaban" guitars have invaded america?? is this like a plague?
kurtsstuff Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 He's on QVC like every other hour and there are always "only 500 guitars left"!! God the dude is pathetic and the guitars are garbage!!
silentman Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 But it's got inlays and soundhole decor just like my martin. How bad could it be?
Jamie K Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I like this description even better (in that it nearly caused me to pee myself!):Action, Fit, & Finish: 10the strings are really far off the fingerboard, about 2 inches at the 20th fret, which makes it a bit tough to do super fast solos, but i have the strings pretty much flopping off the fingerboard because i tune it to cannibal corpse (way down). i sometimes get cuts because the frets have started lifting in places. the guitar is painted with some kind of messy ink based stuff that gets on your clothes and hands until it wears off, takes a while though, i didnt much like that whole process and after its warn off you can get splinters because the wood is jaggedy where the fingerboard meets the base of the neck. the bridge also started lifting from the body but i filled it with aquarium silicone and it seems to be holding i also did this to part of the body and herringbone inlay because they also seperated a bit from the cold weather when i play outside gigs, they used cheap glue on this guitar for some reason. i might replace the tuning pegs because i think they unwind themselves when you do extreme string bends like i do. the plastic bridge piece broke too but still works i tried playing without it there so the strings would be closer but it doesnt sound as distorted or loud that way. its not an extremely well made but its the sound that you should be buying this guitar for. several frets dont work at the 7th through 15th frets because of the way the neck is bent but you can still get enough sound to play those frets, it just sounds more distorted and a little muffled. i dont think i has a stress rod in the neck for forcing it striaght again so dont order it if this isnt a feature your looking for.Ahhh....sarcasm.
