Vik Duality 8 string run *CLOSED RUN*

[Yul Brynner]

Destroying used guitars doesn't really stop Vik from being a massive piece of shit, or hit him in the wallet. I mean I guess it could help draw attention to how much of a shitbag he is, but is that enough?

These days people will be seeking him out because of what a shitbag he is.

 

[Pingu]

All those tuners though

There no Offer option, but I'm genuinely tempted (for a reasonable price) to buy this and make some meme upgrades to my non-locking tuners.

Fellow member tipped me off to this... anyone want some Vik parts?

27?

Am I counting correctly? I'm not sure if it's 2 headless or 4 headless in the pile

Thats CRAZY!!!

I count nearly 30 guitars. I once joked about sanding the logo off my headstock and decided against it. Here I am years later looking at a giant pile of broken guitars now. What does this achieve? Most builders say it's really hard to part with a guitar once you've finished building it and that feeling never really goes away. I'd imagine seeing a few years of your life smashed up like that is insulting to say the least.

I just traded this a couple weeks ago, had a good laugh showing it to my guitar buddy

I was told mine was going to "the pile", for context

What does it feel like seeing a guitar you owned smashed up like that? I keep expecting to see my old Duality 7 on the pile someday lol. I'd be a bit sad since it was an incredible guitar but I was glad to be rid of it.

That "Kimnel" dude is undoubtedly a highly motivated individual.

After watching that pile, I would expect Vik to finally start feeling concerned about his crimes.

I counted 27 headstocks + 2 headless

I like the midievel heads-as-kill-trophies thing

Waste of money and mostly amazing guitars that will only bump prices of used VIKs.
Money should go for legal actions if Mr. Kimnel want's to stop VIK from scamming other people.

 

[Alberto7]

Are those ACTUALLY for sale for that much money? I can't tell what part of it is insult, what part of it is humor, and what part of it is profiteering. I just don't know the story of how these were acquired.

There's at least 3 headless in that photo

i had mine refinished, no logo on it anymore

 

[downburst82]

I find it interesting that if you do look at that listing as a piece of art....and then take into account the cost of materials to create that piece of art the price is a bargain!!

 

[Purelojik]

i dunno, just kinda makes me sad those guitars are destroyed. I dont like his stance on politics and culture but that's a damn shame that nice timber gets the abuse. Maybe its cause I build and admired Vik for a while before all that came to light, but still don't think the guitars deserved that. such a waste

I can pretty much guarantee he doesn't give a fuck, he has his cash

I am just glad I got what I paid for. He told me without doubt that he doesnt give a fuck about publicity (probably a lie)

It's hard to give away a used Vik. I've been down that road twice.

It wouldn't surprise me if it is Vik involved in a few UPS insurance claims.


I really hope the fact that this sold is a second account in on a joke.

It's 100% just an angry ex-customer, who smashed these up using a variety of tools, rocks, and sometimes other Viks.

I'll be honest maybe a smidge sad because it was a fantastic guitar, but the guitar replacing it is far more enjoyable for me. I didn't have much attachment to that Vik, it was gorgeous but definitely less hours than all of my other guitars.

It's definitely getting attention, but in a world where Vik gets to freely operate and scam new customers infinitely if I had some threshold of money and felt inclined enough I'd buy them up and do what you suggested. Relabel/Repurpose.
