Yeah that's the Greek sign for bottle opener... :rolleyes:

this really gets tiresome. why do people even bother? :rolleyes:

That vendor has the most hacked-up guitars I've ever seen. And they want top dollar for every one of them. They had a completely butchered Embassy bass up on ebay forever, not sure if its still there.

ACCKKK! My eyes!
-
these guys always have a bunch of beat up/half destroyed gear they want beyond top dollar for. this guitar is in good shape but the price? minor celebrity connection if you believe it.

And how is the photo of a girl holding a different guitar "proof" of its celebrity connection I wonder? At any rate, I seem to recall the reverse firebird being referred to by a Jackson employee as the "crosby model" so I'm not sure that writing on the neck means much but maybe the cryptic words explain something ;D

I was about to say. Totally not the same axe.

That does it, I'm writing famous names on the heels of my bolt-ons. I wonder how much my Tele will be worth once people realize it was custom made for Mark Twain.

Is that Mark "Bomba" Twain from Reigate, near Mozambique...? :mrgreen:

Yes, and I also have one made for Charles Dikkens, the well-known Dutch author of Rarnaby Budge. :mrgreen:

Ah, I can see you're more than a match for me... :mrgreen:

apparently with celebrity guitars comes celebrity shipping cost.
500 dollars, indeed. even if it is in germany.

Digression is our specialty.

I have a kramer bass that was "rejected" by Billy Sheehan for being a piece of junk purportedly. I should be able to get a mint for that thing based on these auctions.
