custom ordered bodies and pickguardzzz

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 6:20 am

not made by me, but rather by my slave katie. im not going to be doing the "30 dollar whatever you want bodies" nor the " 20 dollar whatever you want guards"
these are the bodies im offering.
mustang
duo sonic
jaguar
jazzmaster
tele
strat
and maybe a few others.
pickguards for all that are mentioned above and if you want one from an oddity guitar just send me the og guard and it will be made.
prices will vary depending on what you want. and since katie only works about 3 days a week max, turn around time will not be as fast as it was in the past.

Left-Handed Telecaster plate in cream, cut for a humbucker in the neck position. How much we talking?

How much for a left-handed jaguar body with normal routes robert? (to fit CIJ hardware and guard)

How much for a custom guitar that was ordered over 2 years ago?

OH SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

I'd say it was a very restrained response considering the circumstances.

Don't get me wrong, I think Rob's a super dude on the whole but he owes my friend a guitar or a refund.

It pretty much undermines all the trust we've learnt to have for each other on Shortscale, and it's awful to see.

Agreed. Make it right with James before making any more money on here, please.

Just to put it out there, one may necessitate the other. I really don't know, but it seems a possibility.

That's utterly unacceptable if it's the case. Especially that given the ever receding timelines, it would take an infinite amount of time for these guitars to be built.

Also, as I understand it, all materials for the guitar have been bought, it's just a case of assembly. Like it was last year.

If it is indeed the case, I think Robert should get his house in order before attempting to give me business advice.

james and i are squared.
doog. what body? and for who. i honestly did not even know that i still owed somebody one.
its no excuse but at the time when things got heavy with those bodies i was swamped and couldn't keep count of what the hell i was building and who it was for. probly why i ended up with estra "what the hell was this for" bodies and pickguard.
let me know what he ordered and what it was. i will make it right.

This was my understanding as well, or at least come to an agreement.

Also, to review the first post, Katie is making these, not Robert.

As per that PM, I was talking about James. I had no idea stuff had been sorted out between you two dudes, so sorry for any undue drama caused.

its ok man, i have been kind of a dick with the whole thing, taking a long time blah blah blah, whatever.
but almost a full refund has been issued and the rest will be coming once the rest of my duo is sold.
one day i may have enough time to finish that thing, and if i ever do it'll go right to him for free, but that probly won't be for another 45 years seeing as how i still have to making a working prototype for the dwarfcraft guitar.

do you do... green pearl?

James · Post by **James** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 6:21 pm

Robert, I just sent you a another message on facebook about it.

For those concerned (which seems to be a lot), I got the bulk of the money back last night/today after a couple of paypal hiccups. You lot will definitely be told when it's fully resolved and since making the thread in the pub robert has been making an effort to put things right.

i think i can order some green pearl, i know i have seen it but i can't remember where.....
and remember folks you gotta let me know what year, and make these guards are for, seeing as how every few years fender decides to move shit around.
and plus each model is generally a bit different

ok
waiting for the winter, yours would be 35.00
thom, what kinda wood do you want? poplar would be about 60.00 ash would be more like 80.00
hotrod- yours would be 35 as well.
ends, what do you want cut out of green pearl?
