LordOfTheThighs Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 MUTHA $^%#@& !!!What a bummer.Sorry for you ... was it not packed good, ordid the UPS / Fed-Ex gorillas demolish it?
hamerhead Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 THAT sucks beyond beleif. What carrier? Or was it poorly packed?
mrhamerman Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 OMG! That's painful to look at! So sorry and good luck...
tomteriffic Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Aaaaw, KWAP!!That hurts to look at. Whadda beeyotch, Dave. I've got one in transit right now and that makes me nervous AND pained.
elduave Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Yeah, drag. Looks like it either got flatened or took a hard shift in the case. The problem IMO is that there was zero cushioning within the case. Had the nut been unlocked and the strings loosened and the headstock bubble wrapped it may have had a chance. If if's and buts where candy and nuts...2nd Ebay bummer in a row. I got my holy grail Iceman a while back. The seller neglected to mention that the truss rod was frozen. It's a headstock repair as well. Ah jeez...Oh well. I've had remarkbly uneventful Ebay dealings until recently.

I love the way they look...
LordOfTheThighs Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 The Steve Miller Iceman, I presume? I believe as the story goes, thats the guitar he used to record his "Fly Like An Eagle" album with. That sucks you got 2 bad deals in a row.

elduave Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 The Phantom is on it's way to New Hartford for a proper repair!
