Members kayd_mon Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I guess it depends on how you look at it. You can look at it from the morbid perspective, or you can look at it as a positive. The previous owner has passed on, but you get to honor him by continuing to use his guitar, which he no doubt was quite fond of.I look at it this way... after I croak, I hope my cars wind up in the hands of people who appreciate them and enjoy them just as much as I do. Perhaps this fella would have felt the same way about his guitar.Or he'll kill you in your dreams. It's your call. This is what I think. I hope that after I die, my guitars are given to someone who will play them and enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeleFromHelly Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 You guys are missing the point. The dude died in the car with the guitar in a horrible wreck of twisted metal. This isn't a normal case of someone dying of old age and his guitars getting sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaleH Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why would the seller even go to all the BS of saying it was in a fatal accident. If it's in an estate sale just sell it allready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a normal case of someone dying of old age and his guitars getting sold I assume he wasn't impaled by the headstock. What the hell is suppose to happen to the guitar then? Become one of those gaudy roadside memorials? Some people may be freaked out by it, everyone is a little superstitious, but it's not like you are buying a bloody candlestick found next to Mr. Body in the conservatory.

Members epi56ebony Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 no superstitions anyone? guitar could be cursed! a stephen king novel follows this guitar through all of it's owners and each chapter shows the gruesome way each player died. In the end, it's found out that the guitar had been stolen from hell and was the property of BON SCOTT and he has put a curse on anyone who owns it! but for the brief time any player does own the guitar, he will be the greatest riff-master of the universe until his untimely death!

Members soundcreation Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 people die in violent ways everyday. Hundreds....possibly thousands...I don't know the numbers....I don't care. I'd buy it if I wanted it and wouldn't think twice. There is nothing creepy about death. It's just death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajympt Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 This makes me think of a 64 Vette my Dad almost bought- the owner had been shot in the car, but other than needing a new drivers seat and a good cleaning it was incredible- he passed on that one, but he thought about it......I'd buy the guitar if it plays nicely.

Members g400man Posted June 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 you can see the chips on teh neck and back, but see from the front it looks good until you get real close and see scratches, not chips, though there is a small chip to the left of the input jack, right where the natural body binding is but what do you think? this guitar is $1100, but it comes with no documentation, so its assuming its a prs custom 22 artist, and im pretty sure artist auto means its a ten top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hard to tell by those pics. But chips and scratches are how poly wears, it's plastic. The scratches can be buffed out, but there isn't a great way to repair chips (some people use cyanoacrylate...super glue...but it takes a master to blend it right) That's a great price. A clean, mint, used Custom 22 (not an Artist) go for $1400 if you keep an eye out. Personally, I would skip a chipped PRS. But no matter how good a deal it is, I don't need it and $1100 is $100 out of pocket. And feel of chips on a neck can be distracting to some while playing.

Members g400man Posted June 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 im not exactly turned on by the gold, like at all. im just looking ofr a prs for $1500 or less. and this is only 1100, so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though for a PRS the other option would have been opaque black, which doesn't appeal to me either (that's what my '92 had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
