Members Freak Guitar Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 I just purchased this guitar from Steve Stell a few months back. It has been completely redone (plained fretboard, refret, setup, etc) for a few hundred dollars(I even have the receipt). I have hardly even gotten the chance to touch this thing. As much as I'd hate to get rid of it, I'm in need of the money. The guitar is in good shape. It was Ola Frenning' touring and recording guitar for many years, so it has some natural wear to it. This thing plays phenomenal and is a true one of a kind. I'd like to keep it around $2300. I paid $2500, plus $271 in the setup. Comes with OHSC. The pics kind of wash out the color but here you go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JamesPeters Posted May 13, 2007 Members Share Posted May 13, 2007 It was a lot more than just a setup. For that kind of money I should hope so. But maybe you want to elaborate so it seems like a valid selling point (instead of seeming like a bunch of bs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JamesPeters Posted May 13, 2007 Members Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hey man, you opened and I called. Shimmed the neck? Ouch...why do I see the value of this guitar plummeting now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freak Guitar Posted May 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hey man, you opened and I called. Shimmed the neck? Ouch...why do I see the value of this guitar plummeting now... In you saying the fact that I got the guitar setup seems like BS? I guess so... The neck/pocket needed to be angled better to get the intonation perfect. Shimming a neck doesn't really depreciate the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwahahaha, first you're asking 2300 for a Caparison bolt-on:rolleyes:, and then you tell us all this work it needed, and that the OMG AMAZING WORKSMANSHIP Craparison needs a shim to intonate correctly.

Please... Ok, first of all. Calm down. I'm not one of the guys that says Caparison is the best thing you can buy. I understand they are overpriced, and yes...I'd like to get near what I paid for it. Is that possible? Highly unlikely. I bought a guitar that had a lot of "cool" value to it, me being a big Soilwork fan. It was more of a collection piece, and I'm trying to sell it as such. I know what I can get for it, but I'm trying to get as much as I can. EDIT: And for the record, none of these things I did to fix this guitar were a necessity. I'm very anal about how "perfect" my guitars are, so if there is any problems, I pay to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I re-read your original post, I understand that you were calling all the work a "setup", and that's why it cost that much. That work would cost a fair deal, so that does make sense of course. It's just that most of us wouldn't call it a "setup" because of all the work done. A setup is usually quite basic stuff.

Yea, I understand the mix up. I used the word setup because "rebuilding" sounded like it was broken when I got it, which definitely was not the case. Sorry for the confusion.

Not to worry, and I'm sorry for being abrasive with you. Although I think this guitar will be a tough sell at this price, unless someone here is a Soilwork fan.
