He was selling another Cali with apparent issues and all my questions were ignored numerous times... so add "Sketchy" to Chicen Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Great. Also makes you wonder if he's done anything to this one. Have to say it - did Brent move to Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VECTOR Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 He (gunter?) played this one on instagram. Soloing parallel to the rhythm played on a Flying V - in an other key https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChspI4BF_VD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 As has been said before (and often) on the HFC, 'Askin' ain't sellin''. 'The Gunter Collection', huh? At that price, the only thing that guitar will be collecting is dust. Edited to add: I contacted the seller about this guitar, told him it looked nice but sure looked familiar too, then sent him the link to the original (first) Reverb listing from this thread. His response (with emoji!): "Yep. " The term 'Chicken Hawk' doesn't come to my mind regarding this character, but 'scumbag' sure does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, that's not a terribly bad price for that guitar… it's just I've noticed there is some weird shady shit going on with movement of guitars on the Internet lately...

I don't mind people making some money but doubling the price seems excessive to me. I've purchased expensive pieces for my collection but I'm not rewarding this guy with a sale. Is it just me or does the logo look like it's a decal on top of the finish. Could be optical illusion or a Ed Roman wanna be. These are just opinions and observations based on my limited knowledge. I'd love an expert to chime in because it looks like the headstock is off and not just the logo. The geometry looks wrong. Maybe I'm wrong.

Bennyboy-UK Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 At least try and sell it on a different platform and give it more than a fucking fortnight…. I actually quite fancy the Cali - but not at fucking £3k… and yeah the demo seems to be in different keys. and I don’t like the beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black logo was probably requested as a custom order and wouldn't show up very well over the red, so they put a white logo underneath and overlaid the black on top. I've seen that a few times before, but it certainly wasn't common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
