a bit??? man last one almost mint went for 500more,1050 was a steap for this. I would kill the previous owner for making something like that to a J custom
it's beaten as hell LEON.... I'm going to cry every time I will see a pic of this guitar edges and back
I looks like some acid was on it

i don't think i could buy a pristine, mint guitar. firstly, i wouldn't have the money to spend on it, and secondly, i'd be afraid to play it.
solong as it still plays great...

Yeh, it was $1050, which ain't bad for a j-custom. The tops pretty clean, but the back looks like a dartboard!! Like I said, I don't mind, hopefully starting a band soon, so this is gonna come in very handy

Nice score! Looks like it's been touched up with nail polish, but it is a player.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm assured it plays fine, which is the most important thing to me.
But it does piss me off when expensive guitars ain't looked after. I also brought a RG8670 from Rich which had several dings in it aswell

Hot.
I'm not a huge fan of trans black guitars, but a black/grey burst like that? I approve. And I on the other hand love beater guitars - my UV's trying it's damndest to catch up with Vai's Evo, and frankly I love how it looks.

First....congrats on the guitar!
Secondly, I know exactly what you mean. A few months back, I walked into GC and saw a used PRS 10-Top w/ P90s (@ $3K for a new one). It looked great until I saw the bridge pup. The previous owner was a teenage kid. He took out the P90, badly carved out the bridge position and then stuck in a red/black Duncan Designed Detonator (the cheap ass version of a Duncan Invader)!!! Talk about a hackjob on an otherwise beautiful axe. It was hideous.

Thanks bud.
Why do they do it! A UV777BK just sold on ebay last week. The guy had put an active EMG in the bridge. Either he or someone else had done a shitty DIY job and carved, sorry, hacked a section out of the back to fit the battery. I wanted to cry.
Gurj said:
Uhhhh, well...I put a pair of EMG707s in a UV777BK as well. Mine was done very well though. No hack job.
Didn't have a problem with the guy putting the EMG, it was just the way the back had been butchered! Plus it seriously affected the final price, I think it went for around the £650 mark, whereas good condition BK's have been selling for £900. At £650, I could have lived with that hack job though
Ah, so you're not going to have Rich set it up for the extra whopping $250?Gurj said:Yeh, it was $1050, which ain't bad for a j-custom. The tops pretty clean, but the back looks like a dartboard!! Like I said, I don't mind, hopefully starting a band soon, so this is gonna come in very handy

AAAAAAAAAAARRRHH. You've scarred me again!
That picture of the battery DIY job is too much!! But on the otherhand, for £650 I would have brought it and fixed her up. If only I had remembered to bid................

Not this time, was tempted but the total price of the guitar would have been way too much. Having said that, his set-ups are mighty fine. Remember picking up the other others I've got from him in the past and thinking how sweet the action was and the fret job being awesome

It is atrocious, but hell, I'd have bought it for that price too. It's nothing a few hours with a dremel, some paint and some patience won't take care of.
