The 357 Customs / Zakk Wylde Guitar Offer!

[Rev2010]

I feel sorry for anyone who wanted to buy one to keep it, and couldn't get a great deal on it cuz of people who bought them to make a profit.

By the way... no need to feel sorry for those people cause there are still deals with these guitars going on. Just recently they had the "Buy one of these MP3 players and get a free Zakk Wylde guitar".

Ah so that's your beef Regor?... you paid "cost" for yours and now everyone's getting theirs for less? I know your cost couldn't have been $150.

Rev.

No. I had no problem paying cost for mine. Because I bought mine a year ago as a "Get Well" present to myself before I started chemotherapy. That was WAY before this deal ever came about. And I'm keeping mine, not trying to make a cheap buck offa it. And my "cost" price was low enough that I'm not complaining about it. But let me put it this way. If I hadn't already bought one, and this deal came about. And I didn't get one to keep, meanwhile you people bought them to sell them... you're damn right I'd be pissed as a MoFo. So I 'feel' for anyone out there who didn't get the opportunity.

(Not to sound like I'm preaching here... but honestly, when you've been through what I've been through, you start to think differently about things and think more about how things affect other people more than how things affect yourself. And I don't expect any of you to understand what I mean or where I'm coming from. I'm just explaining my position.)

sweet! those are the same knobs i want to get, only in chrome...

how do they fit on the pots? do they just push on, or is there a set screw in the back of the head?

Small set screws.

See my post above yours "By the way... no need to feel sorry for those people cause there are still deals with these guitars going on. Just recently they had the "Buy one of these MP3 players and get a free Zakk Wylde guitar".

Let's look at this another way... these guitars still sell for what $799? Even with all of these deals over people that want these guitars really bad will be able to buy them for a decent amount less than $799 with all the people that will be selling them on EBay.

By the way, just to reiterate... I'm not one of "these people". I didn't do this deal. I'm just a bit surprised that you seem genuinely upset that people took advantage of this deal. My co-worker did the deal to get all three models of guitar. If the company wanted to prevent people buying them up like hotcakes they could've done a 1 per person deal.

The 'company' is a 'company' and the almighy dollar is the bottom line. Why would they care why people are buying them?

I could really give 2 shits less. I'm just stating that my point is, I'd rather have seen them go to people who want to keep them. That's all. End of discussion.

DRAT!

 

[Dr.Feelgood]

DRAT!

Are you going to cancel? I am seriously debating it now

 

[Shannon]

Nah, I've waited this long. What's another month?

By the way, I FINALLY made this thread a sticky.

 

[Leon]

What's another month?

it's another 30 long days

i'm alright with waiting another month. beggars can't be choosers, and can't be impatient either.

 

[Kagami]

Nah, I've waited this long. What's another month?

...dude, there was no pr0n.

 

[David]

that's messed

I'm never purchasing something from them, ever.

 

[Leon]

patience is a virtue

 

[Chris]

Another month?

Patience is indeed a virtue, but optimism apparently is as well. Good luck guys. :\

 

[mazafaka]

I have to admit that it is disappointing, but I am not canceling my order just yet. I can always contest the charge on my credit card if they don't deliver. I'm not really that surprised though. Time = money. We are saving money by waiting a LONG ASS TIME.

 

[Tombinator]

What a pair! Oh honey smacks, what a match!

[Kagami]

Whoa where'd you get those at?

 

[Jason]

Python Pwns!



Well, first of all it ain't free. You paid 'something' for it. And secondly, you're not keeping it. So that's lame in my book. There's plenty of ways to make money. I feel sorry for anyone who wanted to buy one to keep it, and couldn't get a great deal on it cuz of people who bought them to make a profit.

My $0.02.

i would have done the same thing a opportunity presented it self and he took that's just smart thinking on his part.

they will when someone buys them, and my prediction is ppl are not going be able to sell them for $799 because someones going lowball them sell em cheaper plus it sounds like there are lot of deals going on for them already ie: by X product get zakk guitar free.

I was gonna have mine $500 buy it now... If anyone thinks they'll get full priced for it, they're retarded.

 

[Leon]

it's funny. i'm actually in a bit of a money rut right now, and having an extra $500 would really pull me out of it. though, by the time that damned guitar gets here, i should be fine again

 

[Tombinator]

Whoa where'd you get those at?

I wish those were mine! The guys from EMG just sent this photo out earlier on Friday. They wanted to get some feedback on them, demand, and to see if it would be worth it to manufacture for purchase.
