Well it´s not a EBMM but what a project

This looks disgusting!!!

Does this happen to a guitar when you "sing with Jesus"?

Certainly not, it's what happens to a guitar when it goes through hell... 20 times!!!

 

[threeminutesboy]

murder

I think instead of singing with Jesus, the guy who will puchase it to restore better try to walk on water ah ah ah ah

This guitar is good, if you need wood for your fireplace ah ah ah

 

[Axilla]

...unbelievable.

Hang that one up against a wall as an example on how NOT to treat a guitar.
I'd say it's pretty useless trying to restore that one - pretty much not really worth the money as the base instrument is already completely f*cked up...

 

[Colin]

that's hilarious! no amount of divine intervention can save that...

 

[Jim Warnstedt]

That is some sweet repair work!

In some countries you would get a hand cut off for doing something like that.

In my store you would beg that it was your hand

 

[roburado]

I dunno about anyone else, but IMHO that's an insane asking price for firewood.

LOL

That's a kind of guitar you'd buy just so you can burn it.

 

[Astrofreq]

A project? It looks like it came from the projects.

Destroy it. I can't believe it is fetching $1,000.

"sing with Jesus"?...Did he mean..Like the Lord & Savior..or his mexican landscaper ? Because the Lord & Savior is a healer& a carpenter..but this is just way out there..It needs a MIRACLE..But I do see the four-point restraints Legion had on him in the Bible being used to hold the neck on..Praise be to Strawberry Wine & the Revelations of a Snake-Handler .This falls under the "You might be a REDNECK" ...Stick to First Act guitars at Wal-Mart ...O Brother, Where Art Thou

Somebody needs to save their money and buy a new MM

It goes to show how much work is involved in keeping up a Gibson over the years I guess ?? The thing looks like something Anakin Skywalker would race in the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace. But it's Vintage...and isn't that what counts ? Some lawyer or accountant will buy it .Same kinda guy who's girlfriend spent most of the 80's with their legs in the air like rabbit-antenna in Motley's tour bus ...trying to regain his manhood back by buying guitars that Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page played .You can sniff them out a mile away at N.A.M.M & other guitar shows..from Long Island to Austin to Santa Monica ..The kind that the playing of Avril Lavigne..well looks like Steve Vai to the playing ability they've managed in the past 2 decades

 

[lenny]

thats just wrong i cant believe that someone did that to a guitar what a great repair job....and man o man it fetching over a grand right now.......but maybe someone has some time and few parts and they will bring it back to life....it is a piece of history i guess and if it can be ...should be preserved
good luck to the winner hahaha

Mr Dearnaley here in Cardiff could repair that - I've seen a lot of horrors in his workshop I can tell ya. A good luthier could rescue that - but it's one hell of a job.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Charlie Chandler could also repair that, but it would be a massive job!
