i get a bad feeling about it

 

[fogman]

Bad feeling doesn't cut it.

Why in the hell would anyone scallop any fretboard let alone an EBMM?
Then to strip the body is insane.

I say it's an OLP.
The buy it now price can't be an EBMM

 

[threeminutesboy]

the battery holder, the bird eye neck and the neck plate make me feel it's an EBMM

but I will not buy it, this guitar was used and abused

 

[Sub1 Zero]

ugh..... i kinda was afraid of that. if it is a true EBMM, and i bought it and hated the scalloped fretboard, would i be able to turn it back around or would it be about as easy as selling herpes?

 

[Monkeyboy23]

Seems legit to me. It's dinged, modified, and scalloped, so the price makes some sense. Plus his/her rating is good. Not everyone is out to grab every last penny...

Whats going on with the tail on that ...

 

[robelinda2]

no thanks.

 

[jamminjim]

Hack Butcher!!

Unbelievable!!

Would be OK for that Swedish player, but I'd have to have a new neck.

Does EBMM sell replacement necks?

?

 

[Jimmyb]

Good Grief!

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the scalloping on the neck.

Hmmm, do you think that polyfilla would work....?

 

[Sub1 Zero]

i think i am gona go for it. i mean even if its a mistake, at least its an inexpensive mistake

 

[Quarter]

The only way to fix that neck is to peel the fretboard off and replace it along with new frets.
But even then, I would be afraid he might have also done some custom neck shaping too.

 

[kompressaur]

if you like nothing under your fingertips its a steal in my book.

 

[Sub1 Zero]

alright, i am going to begin the ebay bidding game (watch watch watch watch watch BID AT THE LAST MINUTE) we'll see how it goes

 

[robelinda2]

good luck!

 

[LivinItUp]

Now its gonna go higer on the price...

 

[DrBob]

So can anyone enlighten me as to what the B.I.N. price was ?

I'm presuming that as someone has already bid on it that the B.I.N. option has gone away at this point ?

 

[threeminutesboy]

390$ as far as I remember

 

[jamminjim]

Actually

that scallop job isn't too bad, JB's and a new pickguard and a case.....

not really too bad of a deal

 

[DrBob]

$390 ?!.......

Oh man I'm annoyed at myself for missing out on that one.....

That's OLP money over here in Blighty. Mind yew scalloped boards are a bit of an acquired taste.

Hmm Sub1 are you having a punt on this one ?

If not I might dip a figurative toe in the dirty water and see what happens...

 

[Sub1 Zero]

i am waiting to the last minute. i don't understand why people bid so early, as it only drives the price up
