What a heartbreaker...it's a stunning axe!!

Please tell me you're not on a dial up....

 

[leftyguitarblue]

I guess it was just meant to be. Sorry man.

 

[Polaris]

ouch

I feel for you, I really do...

I had the same thing bidding (or not as it turned out) on an amp a while back. Got to the last minute, placed a bid and because I hadn't set my browser to remember the password eBay logged me out

Of course, that was my own fault

Bummer man that was a deal and a half.

But there will be others man.

Disaster - I can't beleive how important the internet has become in such a short time, it doesn't seem that long ago when buying a guitar in another country was impossible!

Sorry for your loss......... would black make up for it?

Damn, you missed out on a rare one, it had the CATALYZED LACQUER finish... I don't think there were too many of those made.

Just messing with ya M, sorry to hear about the screw up, that really sucks.

 

[MrMusashi]

man.. im getting picky
that black would have been perfect if the flames were all over.. dang bp, the bfr has spoilt us

MrM

ps: for the techies out there the reason was the landlord changed his email password not realizing the same user/pass combo was used in the router. darn pppoe!

This happened to me once with AC/DC tickets, they were special £10 ones in a small venue. I was not impressed!

 

[DavidOfOz]

I hate it what that happens!! Happened to me once to, but not on something as nice as that EVH.

 

[Spudmurphy]
