Members GarysBlues Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 I was thinking for the ONE bill the neck would be worth it. Do the Affinitys still have the Large headstock? Hell go over the fret end and frets, polish them up and you have a decent neck for small bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enormous, worst part of the guitar imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BluesBall Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 an affinity strat here costs US$250 how {censored}ed up is that Are you serious? That's nuts man. I laugh at guys on craigslist trying to sell them for 60-80 bucks. I'm with Marko on this "1/2 - regular price is where I start getting interested.". I'm waiting for Schecter to drop the price on the C-1 Classic. I want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GarysBlues Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 I know, I haven't messed with them in awhile. Last item arrived {censored}ed. A Toranado that was wired backwards and had two wire's disconnected. MF wanted to knock off 10%, Thats what they ALWAYs want to do. So I said, Look I need a case. LOng story short, They shipped me a Black Tolex HSC for Free. I rewired the guitar. Wish I still had the neck from it. the case was on sale for $29.00 bucks which turned out to be 20%. But you shouldn't be working on new guitars like that. Especially when they are a first and Not a Scratch and Dent item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 You're better off. MF sucks and doesn't deserve your money. Ya know what the bastards did to me this last time? Sure, I shouldn't even go there, but they had a couple items no one else did. Last Thursday, early early in the morning I ordered a gigbag, a cheapo SG case, planet wave cables, etc. it's over $200. So they had their deal going so I'm supposed to get $20 instant rebate. But, they don't ship Thursday I call them Friday morning and say "What's up??" Guy says "It's going out today" Come home Friday - No shipping notice. But!!!!! MF did send me an e-mail saying they gave me too much of a discount due to some error. They don't explain the reason, they don't tell me what it should be, they are just saying "expect your charge to be greater than you authorized F'head" :mad: This morning I finally got a e-mail it shipped. I guess I should be happy that they only back charged me above what I authorized and took 5 days to ship out in stock items. The last time they P.O.'d me was when I canceled an order for "in stock and ready to ship" items that they never shipped after 45 days. But unfortunately, they still have some exclusive offers that keep draggin me back. Oh, and two of the items I'd ordered were for a birthday present to my stepson. Now they'll have to be Christmas presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
