Members q-4000 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 now I don't often make comments like this BUT..... $1200 for a bolt together Epiphone G310 clone??? are you on crack? "The selector switch is set up like a Les Paul, but only on a 5 position rotary. Position one is bridge, position two is bridge and neck and position three is neck, four is mute" so I take it 5 is "mute" as well? why not use a 3 way swich like its supposed to have? the pickups are like $90/for the set the case is like 110 how did you spend close to 2000 to build it(before the "custom" paint job) ??? you know you could have gotten a REAL Gibson SG for that $$ that would have had a) Had a resale value above $150 b)had a SET neck c)BEEN A GIBSON NOT A NO NAME home build RIPOFF! take a 0 off the end of your price and I think you will be closer to the value!

Members q-4000 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 OH and i just noticed it says "It was initially black, and when I tried to clean it up with some light solvents, the black paint came off reveling the cool looking green primer underneath, which is the way I left it. I hand polished the face to make it shine." so the "custom" paint job is actually the PRIMER COAT???? so im taking it that it started off as an Epiphone G-310 they are like 250 NEW! so how/WHY did you spend close to $2000 for the "upgrades"????

Thanks for the opportunity to explain. If you read the sentence before where the quotes start it states that he is explaining where the KNOBS came from. Here is a picture of the offending selector switch for clarification seeing as your reading comprehension skills aren't particularly up to snuff: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members q-4000 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 so just for the record your not denying that it is an Epi G-310? or is it Warmoth pieces? yes the chicken head knob is kinda cool if it was on an amp! the other 4 look like they came off a 60's "departments store special" guitar. I am just wondering how it cost over 2000 to bolt together some pieces!And why you would spend that much for it when you could have had a REAL SG? and one last question what is a "Clapton shaped back"??

To clarify this is a Warmoth guitar. The Clapton shaped back refers to the back of the neck and how it differs from a normal shaped neck. If you want more info head over to Warmoth.com they have all the specs you could ever ask for. I've listed everything I can think of about this guitar and all the parts and pieces (except for the knobs) came from Warmoth. Price it out. Include a charge for labor and tell me what you come up with. In all of your posts you sure are quick to flame my ad but I see no offer coming from you.

Members q-4000 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 ill give you about what its worth $50/shipped. priced over at warmoth it comes to around 1000 for all parts! body 190neck 209pickups 90tuners 60roller bridge 40nut 25guts 45shielding 10bigsby 133SS fret upgrade 20inlay upgrade 90neck contour upgrade 35 thats $967 and ill give you $50 for various parts like neck plate and strap buttons knobs and trusrod cover which is still ONLY $1017 so where did the other $983 come in? so your saying that someone charged you almost a grand to put this together for you and then you then spent MORE on a paint job?? being a warmoth put together the resale value is about half of what the parts cost.

Members creep66 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Q-4000 your an ass man. If he wants to sell the guitar {censored}ing let him who cares? You are making a huge deal out of this, will he get 2 grand for it? Prolly not but he isn't asking 2k either. You don't want it then leave him alone and GTFO. And as far as Gibsons go I have had a few and still have a few and I will tell you I have played bolt-ons that were better, not often but I have.

Members q-4000 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 i think you totaly missed the point 666 it has nothing to do with bolt on vs set/neck through its the fact he states he spent over 2 grand on this and I was simply asking HOW? its a warmoth parts guitar! there pieces are ok but I was just letting him (and any potental buyers) know that there is nothing special about this guitar I just wanted to know how he spent 2k on a warmoth guitar! and to let him know that its not worth 1200 and he should adjust the price if he wants to sell it this is not craigs list people here know guitars.

Members creep66 Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well it's up to him to figure all that out when it doesn't sell after three weeks but you are being beyond rude man. That {censored} was uncalled for if he wants to list his Q-4000 at 10K even though it's not worth near that who are we to stop him, am I right?

Members shredtilurded Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I don't necessarilly have a problem with what q-400 is trying to say,just the way he's saying it.It's nice to know that there are more of us who question dudes and watch out for potential scams(not saying this is one)instead of just passing through.Remember we were all newbs looking for our first(or second)real guitar.But show the guy a little more respect Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IanDOL Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hey a little off the subject but i am about to post an epiphone sg pickguard made entirely out of duct tape for $700 ( i need an orange 2x12 ) so leave this guy alone and come make nasty comments on my post. But seriously you know that people on this forum know what they are looking at. They know guitar stuff, you have have posted that. So if he does sell it to someone they must really like it so lets let this guy actually have a shot a selling this git-fiddle.tough times money is needed!

Members harrisbquinn Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 nice looking guitar, i kinda agree with q4000 though....the $2000 thing is hard to stomach...you should put it on ebay and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
