Seriously?

How is this guy allowed to keep coming back?

He's not guitarfather.

He is crying like a baby though, it's not like I was even harsh. I thought it was shady. Other people agreed, yet I'm singled out. Probably because I'm the first to call this type of behaviour.

Robert made these bodies for zero profit and I remember him explicitly saying he didn't want them to end up on ebay. I don't think it's too much to ask not to honour that simple request.

so wait what did it sell for? im just curious.
at any rate im not worried about it getting sold on ebay, ultimately once the transaction is completed it is someone else's property and i have no say in what happens to it.
altho, like mike said, i prefer if they stay in the family.

It cracks me up when seemingly innocent threads erupt into a fountain of tears.

Wait, he was sanding that shit by hand!? #1 way to make a woodworking project fail, do all the sanding by hand. You will get frustrated and quit.

For the price you sold thee bodies it's absolutely fair of you to give the condition that they don't end up on ebay. Even more so if you say stuff has to go to the classifieds here first and if nobody wants it sales elsewhere are ok. It might sound a bit dickish when you read those last two senetences out of context, but you did people a massive bro deal doing these so cheap and it's only fair for you to say they have to be available here before elsewhere. I've no problem with him selling the body but he absolutely should have put it up in the classifieds first.

edit - ebay auction now says "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

And now I see why rob didn't want to make any more guitar bodies, I didn't get what he was referring to but this makes sense now.

Fuck, I really wanted that special order mustang body too.

Blame people like this guy not being appreciative.

What Robert did was out of friendship. People need to get some fucking respect.

eh?? I sanded much of the malikaster and several other projects by hand. I once spent pretty much half a day sanding down the first mustang alder body I made. I've never quit based on a sanding job though I have nearly quitted on that stang when I was buffing and burnt through. Although Ash is very difficult to get right and yea you pretty much need proper a sander to get it done.

If I hand sand, I block sand to eliminate finger grooves.

I call dick, but hey, to each their own.

I have always seen this as a community, not a place for selling shit. I put stuff up here for what I can accept for it, not what I can get for it. I sold the Bronco Jr back to Robert and offered the tele on here before sellign to a friend here in CA who wanted it. Knowing he wanted it (and would have paid more than I sold it to him for) I still offered it here first. IT was not cheap, as the parts on that guitar cost me a bit. But, it was a good deal none the less.

I would never take a guitar, guitar part, pedal, etc I bought off here and ebay it unless I was desparate for cash AND I had offered it as a bro deal here first. That is also why i did not list some stuff I have sold that I did not buy from here because I needed to make $ off of it to finance other stuff (such as the Tiny Terror).

Again, people need to at least attemp to give back to the community prior to putting deals they got here on feebayzz...

Eh, I can see how he might have been embarrassed. I have had projects go straight south to shitland, even after working on A DOZEN or so. It can make you want to throw the thing through the fucking window onto moving cars. It took a while for me to realize that things can be saved. I sent my RobO body to Cowbell to help me after I hit a snag.

I think coming into a board is weird because you don't know what the dynamics are. What he wasn't getting is that what looks like sucking up is respect that comes from a certain kind of honesty of being that the people he mentioned have. They are nothing alike, but what they offer is straight up. It's a clarity, which can often be harsh. Think of it tonally. I hear a distorted buzzroar when I read Sloan, or Icey's staccato. We are like a dissonant opera of unseen ghosts. Even Aug had a place here when he was at his best. People can return. I am always pleased to see a name return like Paincake or Limp Dick. The thread continues.

Er, I thought that was a given? Does anyone actually sand just holding the paper in their hands?

No, actually don't tell me.

I've hand sanded several non-guitar projects just due to their small size and even that was a major chore. Anything large and flat like a guitar body pretty much requires a sander unless you are a masochist.

But, the shipping price seems a bit steep eh?

What does it usually cost to ship a body?

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:20 pm

its cuz he's in canada.
i think it cost me bout 30 bucks to ship it to him.
i know that in the u.s. its like 15 bucks MAX to ship from one coast to the other.

i think someone in the new world should buy and restore it to its former beauty. it looked so nice until that paint went on it. 'tis a shame.
