So I will end this for it seems to be hopeless
to find a middle ground on all sides.

I am sorry if I offended someone and I will forgive those
who offended my friend and I

live and let live and to each is own

it would be one thing if the guitars were edgy, and formal/functional, but that guitar that was originally posted (like what, 4 months ago?) is fucking ugly. i don't care if someone makes something really ugly out of really nice parts, or really shit parts, it's still fucking ugly.

the fact that it's made from shitty recycled parts (that intonate via magic, no less) doesn't make it worth what the guy's asking. and way to junk up the headstock with microsoft word 95 designed logos. suitable name, however.

An instrument maker is only as good as the instruments they sell... each and every one is fodder for judgement, and one instrument can sour a customer's opinion on the rest of their product... Long and the short of it, don't sell shit; if you do, don't be surprised if people tell you your work is shit.

Also, editing all your posts to remove their content is goddamn lame.

I read this thread and I just understood,that the guy who makes these guitars comes on here (or a friend of his) and makes,like,these fake advertisings of his (or his friends) guitars?

Thats quite - not nice.

And his strange editing and leaving meaningless words in places..

stranzg.

i just wonder if somebody linked him here or if he simply googled himself and didn't like what came up on the first page.

Yes I am a good friend of his and someone send me the link to this forum

I took out some posting I have put when I was a bit pissed and not thinking straight
in other words I am taking back those meaningless words.

It pissed me off to read someone telling him to go fuck him self
without knowing him and all this is only based on some pictures
of a guitar that no one ever saw or tried.
If someone came and tried the guitar and felt like it was a piece of shit
then I could understand better, but it is only a picture.

I believe those judgments were a bit out off place only judging all this from a picture

so were some of mine and that's why I took them out

at lease I can admit my false

I might be wrong or even strange to try to defend a friend
and you may not like the idea of recycling guitar parts

but I have seen a sanded Fender body and a sanded Squier one
and they look quite the same to me once you take out the heavy
shit paint of the Squier that prevents the wood from resonating

and if you have a one piece 30 years old Japanese maple neck
and its straight as an arrow after all those years whatever the brand
well I believe you have a very good neck on your guitar

and if you sand down a Tokai BreezySound and see that its a
2 pieces perfectly match alder body, well if you think this is crap
I beg to differ.

And he doesn't make false advertising, the country of origin
of the recycled parts (body, pickups...) is written in the adds
when he knows where they come from, the wood is also in the adds
with how many pieces and if its laminated or a solid body.
He is not selling any guitars as if they were a Fender or anything like that,
he is selling them for what they are, Recycled guitars.

he also make new ones with bodies and necks
he takes from a guy down in Florida USA

Nash guitars sells relic guitar for 2000$

he those the same relic work and sells the guitar for 400$
with genuine USA Fender pickups, because its a recycled guitar
and is name is not Nash

and yes I would go to war for a friend any day
like you would probably all do.

so don't insult me for doing so

I'm not arguing on the scaling for I don't know shit
about it

I'm just asking you not to judge so fast

Ugh ...

What a labor to read so many shitty posts. Somebody ban this idiot already.

Mages · Post by **Mages** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:59 pm

yeah dude. there's absolutely no point in engaging in any discussion with this guy. not only is he clearly not very well informed on much of anything, he's not trying to add anything to forum or even learn anything from the forum. he's only here to defend his shady friend.

worthless poster is worthless.

[quote="ekwatts"]A fucking rip-off merchant. Fuck that guy.[/quote]

yeah like this was adding something to this forum

this forum started about some pictures of a guitar
only one guitar that nobody saw or tried, maybe the angle
of the picture is not wright who knows.

I just don't see the point of "fuck that guy"

fuck that one guitar I would live with

Ekwatts was adding something. He was warning people not to buy such an obviously awful guitar.

That guitar will not work. It won't.

The sum total of the value of the parts of that guitar are not represented in the price of the guitar, which is priced higher than what the parts are worth.

The "work" that went into the guitar has zero market value, given that the final product is in fact less useful than the parts are by themselves.

Describing the seller/curator of such a guitar as a fucking rip-off merchant is a fair analysis, and one worth heeding. It would be a mistake to purchase that guitar.

I think that just about sums everything up.
