Each Time I warn someone not to do things to their guitars that cant be undone there are always the few who think that Im protecting adesign (sort of_) Im really trying to sve the guitar and the owner. These things just never work out and destry the resale.

*sigh*

BP, I should've asked you first about routing a Silo Spec to accomodate a humbucker in the neck. Which I did, hoping to get a nice humbucker in the neck. Which I also did.

Then I discovered the Dimarzio Pro-track... ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Though I think that's not as bad as this particular case. It's still unnecessarily routed. Damn...

Peter. I don’t know why, but this made me laugh.

Same here... what a simpleton.

I'd say let it die, it's already dead anyway

Well folks, it went for even less the second time: $415 vs. $455 the first time.

I think I know a lost cause when I see one.

This one keeps turning up, like a bad penney.

This thread causes too much pain.

With all those holes it's worse man, it's like a bad piece of swiss cheese!!!

Hahahahahaha

He could at least offer free shipping to sweeten the "deal".

 

[zombywoof]

Maybe he could dig a few more holes in it so the weight and shipping cost goes down?

 

[Ernieballplayer]

thats really sad.....

 

[Craiguitar]

My guess is the guy accidentally put a hole in the back of the guitar, then decided to put a load more holes next to it, to make it look intentional. That's the only reason I can possibly think someone would do such a thing. Incidentally, My EBMM's have recessed neckplates, so does that make them 'chambered'?

 

[G0REH0UND]

Unbelievable. I think I just died a little inside...

His Dad is a walking endorsement for sterilisation

 

[Spudmurphy]

I'll fix it!

All club together under the banner of "save the holy Al" and I'll resurrect it!!

 

[Spudmurphy]

I'll shave off about 6mm off the back, leave the holes and bond a nice piece of bookmatched maple. I'll have one of the best "backsides" on the planet

 

[browndog]

Buy it Spud. A little wood, some sanding, some paint and you got your 4th AL.

Tis no different than your current project.
