velorush Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Travesty. What on earth is this trem "fix?" Originally white... Bottom line, looks like it's mostly there. Beautiful slab-o-hog! I don't think the $549.99 price (plus $55.00 shipping) would leave room to fix it. Tree two-fity shipped, maybe?
DaveL Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Buying a Tiger cub and letting morons pose their baby next to it is possibly a better deal than this guitar.
DarrenD Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 I saw this a few weeks ago. Very interesting how a previous owner decided to slab on a Kahler Killer trem, which is actually a great bridge BTW. A good $350 piece but my guess is MGR won't come down that fast since it was recently posted.

velorush Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Seriously though, if anyone is interested , the BBC has available a fantastic PSA on banana defense:

HAMERMAN Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 I wish people that want a natural finish on their guitars would stick to buying guitars with a natural finish!

velorush Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Sorry, thread off rails. The real mystery (other than, "why?") would be whatever (additional) travesty the metal plate is hiding. If that's not too buggered up, this could be salvageable (if bought at the right price).
scottcald Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Is it just me, or or does the Kahler appear crooked? The low E side post is into the pickup ring, while the high E side post is just at the bottom of it. Jeez, if I can do better, that's a sad statement.
DarrenD Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I just sent a message to them asking to take pictures of the trem cover off and/or better pictures of what the deal is with the metal plate near the Kahler. If I get any, I'll post them.
scottcald Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I just noticed that it has two different knobs and switch covers. Something new to see every time you look, I guess.

You are correct, and that is a developing horror show.
bubs_42 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Posted April 3, 2020 Two Phantoms from this era have sold on GC Site in the last two months. They were pretty rough, not as rough as this one, but they brought the same or close to the same money as the one I had for sale. I tried to buy both of them but neither had the case and that was all I was after.
