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.

I would take a hair dryer to that cross, it looks like a sticker if so it might come up and then again :facepalm:

 

Seriously dont think you should have bought it, if you make you money back your lucky, dont think its going to happen.

 

good luck

I had this same model in cherry red sold it for 650.00 shipped, paid 750.00 at M.F. so I lost alittle on it. should have kept it. also it was not a Goth model......

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.

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.

 

 

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
