Members GuitarVlog Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 Somebody on the Unofficial Blueridge Guitar Forum was able to return his ROS-06 after the bridge lifted. Musicians Friend took it back even after he cut a soundhole into the upper bout. He just had to pay a restocking fee. The guitar is now on fleaBay being sold by SoundsCheapInc. Not that they didn't mention that the bridge had lifted. http://cgi.ebay.com/Recording-King-ROS-06-12th-Fret-OOO-Acoustic-Guitar-/140556677278?pt=Guitar&hash=item20b9d4b09e#ht_4994wt_905 So I guess these two are the liquidators of bad RK inventory. SoundsCheapInc may be the liquidator of MF returns as well.

Members Samilyn Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 Gee.... they think the round hole in the side is for a preamp? That's funny. Wonder who fixed the bridge so that the repair isn't obvious? (or is it and they're just keeping mum about it?) As with everything else on evilbay, let the buyer beware. The seller also makes a pretty prominent point (using lots of UPPERCASE LETTERS, lest you miss the point) that there will be no returns under any circumstances. That in itself is a huge deal breaker for me and hopefully will scare off a noob git buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted May 31, 2011 Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 Pleasant Hill, MO? I wonder if this Sounds Cheap Music outfit is P. Hill Pawn operating under another name? If so, they're hardly what I'd call a "music store." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarVlog Posted June 1, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 $130 isn't all that great of a price mine was $199 brand new delivered ... Yes. They were even being blown-out at $190 back in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cobalt Blue Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 SoundsCheap are different than P.Hill, but kind of the same business model. P. Hill I consider much more legit, but YMMV. SoundsCheap definitely buys all of MF/M123's scrap and sells it on eBay. I should say that some of it much less scrappier than other stuff, but that's their deal: buying wholesale slough offs from Bain and selling it on the Bay.

Members JT Foote Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 As an additional tie-in with the topic, how 'bout FlintHill and Recording King? Watch out for those discarded guitars, many are not in good shape. And the prices are suspiciously low enough to reflect that. Cheap is definitely not always better. ...
