Members chimi Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Ok guys, I've talked about this thing earlier in the week. Finally got it in. The paint job looks really killer actually. As much as i don't like skulls (and the cross is apparently part of the paint job, unfortunately.) It's got a few nicks here and there but it looks pretty sweet. Nice case too. What do you think it could fetch on ebay? For those who didn't read my other post i basically bought this guitar to flip it because i am a dead broke college student with tons of bills. I'd love to keep it but i just can't afford to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chimi Posted April 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 South of $550 I have no clue with gibson serial numbers so i guess it is if you say so. Figured i'd take a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chimi Posted April 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'll put a reserve on it. If it doesn't make it i'll probably just bite the bullet and keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members germs Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 if you flip it, you'll probably get around $750-800 for it with that paint. the original Goth look was work-withable, you could change the cosmetics and have a pretty cool guitar. this one...will sell to a niche market, surely. still nice paint though. good job overall.

Cool, i was thinking that there's bound to be some metal heads out there that would like this. Like i said i'm not a fan of these types of things but if i can make some cash off it to pay some bills off i'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chimi Posted April 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'd repaint it. That's the thing i really don't have any money to put into it. It's a cool little guitar but i have no cash to actually sink into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool little guitar but i have no cash to actually sink into it. Repainting it would be more of a time thing than a money thing. But I understand not wanting to, it is a pain in the ass. I just can't help but imagine seeing that guitar painted white with a black pick guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
