i am trying to cover this auction. it would be nice to change all that EPI stuff (most of which has been replaced) over into along with that 60's pup.

You bidding on that?  I just put it on my watch list.  That would save me a lot of trouble for my next project in mind.

how are you doing with the LP body i sold? 

[godofthunder]

LOL I am watching that also...............................don't worry I'm out I have enough going on.

I am watching it.  I am not going to bid on it, but I watch things like that to see how much they get.  Good for reference.  I watched that EB-3 lead pup cover last week and was surprised at how little it got.  I am curious on this one because the headstock took such a bashing.  On my ongoing project I picked up something like this, and another with a smashed body but good neck.  They are now swapped. 

But this would make a nice rebuild project or an EB-3 conversion platform, and it great for repair practice.  That headstock needs some help.

how are you doing with the LP body i sold? 

It's been holding up the baseboard in my closet.  I've been rethinking that idea.  My original plan may be a little more complicated than I'm prepared for. 

Anyone want a mahogany uncut LP body cheap?

there is a short neck out of Dallas now on the bay but i think it is a Maple one.

might be able to do this justice. i want it to try and get out of that Epi i have with all the Gibby goodies on it and get a real Gibby.

I'm itching to bid on it too, but I usually wait till the end to see where it's headed.

Too may drooling luthiers make a happy ebay seller... watch you guys don't bid the price up/against eachever too much...

[drbassman]

Well, it's getting real close to what I think it's worth already!  I love a challenge but I'm cheap too!

[sniper]

yeah, that happened this morning and i noticed the bidder has a whole rating of 12. was it too much to hope that some newbie to NOT run up the bidding? 

[gweimer]

With 5 days to go, I'm pretty sure that things will be quiet up until the end.

[drbassman]

Yeah, I don't see this thing as worth much more, so I probably won't bother.  EB-0s and 3's come up often enough, I wouldn't get carried away.

i have decided not to bid on this as i need to get some projects done before taking on new ones. <--- maybe a touch of sanity in my old age?
