Members Preacher Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 I visit the forum pretty irregularly these days, and when I do post, it's usually over at EG, but this seemed relevant over here so... Someone is selling a Taylor Big Baby with a decidedly homebrew neck repair for only $200! (http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/msg/d/taylor-crybaby-bbt-acoustic/6558648185.html) Hmm, those screws coming through the headstock don't look quite right - I wonder what's up? Oh, that's what's up... But it's only $200!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Preacher Posted April 13, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 I can honestly say I've never seen a 'fix' exactly like this. And passed off as totally normal, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MurkyWaters Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 Only $200? I'll take it and name it Frankie! For Frankie - Stein!!! Or KneeBrace? Yeah, that's the ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted April 15, 2018 Members Share Posted April 15, 2018 It's amazing what folks will try to sell. A couple of weeks ago there was a Guild D4 on the local (St. Louis) Craigslist that looked like someone had used the headstock to practice whittling. The guitar was in playable condition for $250 with a HSC but lord knows what else might have been done to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted April 16, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 There's ya problem' date=' it's missing a string.[/quote'] Well, actually, not only is it included, it's still attached at the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should reply to his ad to help him out. This advert is good but you could take it straight to the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had shaved it so it was shaped sorta like an Ibanez headstock. It didn't look bad but it definitely didn't look like a Guild any more.
