Author Message Johns (Johns) Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2002 - 7:59 am:    Here's one that just made me laugh. The seller is definitely an optimist in his description: "This is a fixer upper...If you can fix guitars you can make this a nice one...This has some scratches on the front and its missing the back. The top and neck are in good condition.. See pics below.. This is being SOLD AS IS...." http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2385&item=932405201 Sixvsix (Sixvsix) Posted on Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 6:00 am:    FIREWOOD! Tim_Walker (Tim_Walker) Posted on Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 6:45 am:    mmm, I think I'll pull the back off mine....see if it sounds better. Johns (Johns) Posted on Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 11:34 am:    If I could fix guitars well enough to fix that one, I'd be good enough to just build a new one from scratch. Maybe I'm wrong , but replacing the back would be less hassle than reattaching the neck to the neck block. Tim: That's what they must mean when they say a guitar has an "open" sound. It's the same principle as an open backed speaker cabinet, no? Tim_Walker (Tim_Walker) Posted on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 8:09 am:    Yes John...I must try it sometime! (not) Seriously though, I've fixed some disastrous guitars, from snapped off headstocks & necks to completely stripped off fretboards, but they never go back quite right....and when it's THAT serious you have to draw the line as to if it's worth the time & effort.

Winnie Maniac (Maniac) Posted on Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:59 pm:    Ebay again.... Check this :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33043&item=936781570 Now I realize there are WHO fans out there but come on. Another clean looking PF300 is available for a realistic price that des not have all the issues of this guitar. R.I.P. John E. Maniac Tim_Walker (Tim_Walker) Posted on Friday, January 10, 2003 - 8:25 pm:    Super 70 pickups eh? I think not... Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 2:38 pm:    Hey Ya'll, Did you know that 1992 is "Vintage? LMAO !! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2504918438&category=33043 Cheers Steve Ccs (Ccs) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 2:52 pm:    I hope that doesn't mean I'm dead Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 3:43 pm:    That'd put me in the "Fossil" catagory... Raceboy (Raceboy) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 6:15 pm:    Well, this can't be good. I was already in the fossil category. I'm gonna be 52 in February. But I don't own a rocker...I AM a Rocker!!! There's a 50's Strat body on Ebay that someone drilled all kinds of big holes in it PLUS a bunch of other outrageous acts upon a once fine instrument. It's kind of a sickening sight. Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 7:15 pm:    You're never too old to Rock & Roll! I'm 40 BTW...

I think I will buy this guitar ;-) Tim_Gueguen (Tim_Gueguen) Posted on Wednesday, February 05, 2003 - 10:57 am:    Maybe we should be a bit more circumspect about posting threads like this. eBay might find out about all the free entertainment their auctions provide and charge us for looking at them. :-)
