WHITE OR BLUE, I LOVE YOU

Post by ekwatts »

More quadrastar bullshit. Which one do I need to caress, lovingly? I like the blue, but I love the white, even though it's a whole £60 more. Should I spend that much more for a different colour, or use it to get drunk/buy a pedal.

It's so damn pretty in white:

Or blue?

You decide. But I might not listen to you.

GTF, Mick, offer something constructive or just buy it for me, ending the absolutely torrential downpour of guitar threads I've made in the last YEAR (about five, right?).

As a fan of white guitars, I say: buy the white one. I wanted a white SG when I was buying my Tokai (as previously stated, I wanted to be Sister Rosetta Tharpe)

...but didn't want to wait two months to get it, so bought a walnut one instead. Four years and several hundred quid later, part of me thinks that if I'd have just waited and bought the white one, I'd still have it now.

Invoking Sister Rosetta-Tharpe isn't really fair only four posts in. You could have allowed others to at least argue the case for the blue one before closing the deal.

My tele looks up from its lounging place on our blaxploitation faux-leather beanbag and says "Shaddap and buy the white guitar".

Hahaha. How does the offer system work on eBay? Do you win it automatically if nobody else puts in an offer? Does it have to be over a certain amount etc.

Sometimes the offer you make is above their minimum so you instantly win. But, sometimes it is'nt and then you have to wait for the sellers decision. I have won stuff both ways, but its disappointing when you get no reply then all of a sudden the auction has ended with someone else's bid. Having said that, this is a rare/unknown guitar as far as guitarists go, so you have a very good chance of winning it with a reasonable offer.

Good luck.

When you post an offer, the seller has 2 days to decide whether or not they want to sell it to you for that price.
People can give other offers while you've sent your offer so it's all just a question of the seller getting their right price.

You must post pictures of the Malikcaster.
I like blue on the quadstar because of the rosewood board. :D

I vote for blue, but the blue would look even better if it had the maple fretboard like the white one.
