Members Guitarnewbie Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Q: Hello tune_o_matic: Did you make an error on your price? Have a good day. countryguitar A: Certainly not. If I sell a 1963 Strat guard for $2,250 (item 140046171332) and a 1963 Strat is valued at an avarage of $30,000 these days. How much does a pickguard of a gutiar that avarages $65,000 - $125,000 should go for these days? It's simple math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 360 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Someone whould send this link to Robbie RObertson. He plays that Broadcaster without a pickguard on it (and with no neck pickup cover). Maybe this guy stole it off him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Do old telecasters sell for 80,000 dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Besides I could make one of those so easy with a UV light and a little salt water and steel wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members go cat go Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Check out his other auctions, especially this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140047356733 i can't believe his response to a question. http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowAllQuestions&requested=tune_o_matic&iid=140047356733&frm=284&redirect=0&ShowASQAlways=1&SSPageName=PageAskSellerQuestion_VI Q: Is this a relic or a real item...?? I can't help but notice that there is no fade between the exposed sunbursting and that which was covered by the pick guard.. Furthermore I have never seen a 62 strat with a fully painted neck cavity.. if you propose that this is a 100% item, then that would have been worn away long time ago... what you show in your pictures looks newly painted. Thirdly the foot of the neck... why does it look recently sanded but apparently it has a stamp that was put onto it 44 years ago... I know rubber stamps are easy to have made up... especially date stamps with that partiular font. I hope you aren't fooling people into a 25k mistake... I also hope that bidders can see this message. I'm not about negative feedback. But I don't like a fraudulent sale when I see one. It still looks like a nice guitar, regardless. Nov-03-06 A: You've caught me. It's a fake. I make these guitars here in my garage... You know NOTHING about vintage guitars and your stupid, moronic, and ignorent e-mail shows it. You wouldn't know a real vintage Fender Strat even if it hit you in the head you idiot loser. Now go away and die. How the hell do you get one of those e-bay Power Seller certificates conducting yourself in such a manner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Diiskrej Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 I can't believe he is going to charge 100 dollars shipping after purchasing a 25,000 dollar item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jacobarber Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 i've been thinking to myself lately, "i have $5,000 just kinda laying around. There's only 1 thing I can possibly think to spend it on, and that is a Tele pickguard for the Tele I don't own. But who really needs a Tele to own a Tele pickguard? Not I! It shall be mine."

Members 9ball Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 people who spend that much on a guitar deserve to be ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catalinagooseV2 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 The worst part of the auction is this:"I currently have ALL parts of this 52 Tele. Contact me fast if you need anything." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 360 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Why flood a guy with questions if you're not going to buy the thing? People pay a lot of money for those guitars. I can't afford that stuff, but I'm not so jellous that I would go and waste my time annoying someone with questions just to be a jerk. He may be selling something for 25k, but that doesn't mean he got it for free so you can't expect someone to pay shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DonK Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 I like the part where he talks about having all the parts to the guitar and then warning, "these will go fast." He's got 4 hrs. left on this one, so it hasn't gone all that fast. Wonder if someone will snipe it. Guess I'll have to check back. I'm really interested to see if someone pays $5,000 for a piece of Bakelite. Edit: I forgot the screws are included, makes all the difference no doubt.

Members guitarcapo Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 "I currently have ALL parts of this 52 Tele." So he's admitting to taking vintage guitars apart and selling them in pieces for profit. Man that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 360 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hey I collect trains with my little boy and a few years ago some surgeon paid $3000.00 for a cardboard box that some accessory came in! This kind of stuff doesn't bother me. I'm happy that there are people out there that have done well enough they can afford to do this. Also doesn't bother me if someone wants to take apart a guitar and sell it peice by piece. It's not my guitar and I can't afford to buy this stuff anyway.
