Nice OLP tough.

 

[fogman]

that's just an OLP

 

[Larry]

eBay gets crazier and crazier everyday.

 

[ShaneV]

It just kept getting dumber, the designed in conjuntion with john petruci part made me die a little inside.

 

[Ricman]

It's an OLP - nice though.

Did I read somewhere that EBMM made one for The Eagles....or did I just make that up?

 

[Pittman75]

How much bull can you pack into a fake letter? See example.

Yeah, they did make one for the eagles. I saw one on someone's photobucket-type thing during the knucklehead visit to the desert...

 

[beej]

But guys, he has a signed letter from CEO Larry Kinderson himself

 

[Multiversal]

I googled Larry Kinderson and got this pic:

lol

They made a doubleneck silo. It's beautiful. If you search I know there's a thread around here somewhere.

 

[Beth]

the paint job on the headstock is ghastly.... HORRIFIC job of painting over the OLP -- if it was even there to begin with

what a weird world this is

 

[Pittman75]

Are these OLP's any good? They seem just O.K...

 

[ShaneV]

When you factor in that they're dirt cheap, they're amazing.

Not a real EB by any means, but miles ahead of a squire or other budget brand for sure.

They're pretty solid guitars for the price. It would be a really good beginner's guitar and would make a decent backup in a pinch. They don't compare to the real thing. After playing my Axis for a few days, I went back and picked up my OLP, and it felt like I had just grabbed on to a 2-by-4, which is why I sold mine.

Uh... ok...

 

[slukather]

Gee it's like the scammers aren't even trying anymore.

Apparently, it was made in week 51 of 1975 according to their serial number

 

[koogie2k]

I have sent him an e-mail explaining the error in his ways. He may "honestly" not know and could have been scammed from the get go. I am waiting on a reply.

 

[phatduckk]

I saw an OLP guitar on ebay for $1200 once. I was pretty shocked. eh, ebay

That sounds like a business opportunity.

Apparetnyl, it was made in week 51 of 1975 according to their serial number

Yeah, and it was designed in conjunction with John Petrucci in 1975
He was just 8 years old and he was already designing guitars! LOL
