Rabs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I guess that's one type of marketing direction to go... http://www.ebay.com/itm/272591654524 Hi folks, here for sale is quite the worst guitar I have ever owned. The reserve is nothing, which is significantly more than it is worth. Hand crafted in a state of advanced intoxication by the Professional Product Group - (I fear they were not technically professionals) - this catastrophic failure of an instrument boasts the following features - Low action with only slight fret buzz on all strings all the way up the neck Goes out of tune the second you look at it G string pops out of the nut with even the slightest pressure Super sharp frets ensure your fingers will be destroyed immediately, giving you an 'emo' edge at gigs. Scratches for looking cool and that, call it a heavy relic like all the bell ends trying to sell broken Squiers for £500 Can't comment on the electronics as I have never plugged it in, it just didn't seem worth it I don't want this in my house anymore First come first mugged. No warranty beyond the cast iron guarantee of regret. Collection only from my home in Witham, Essex, or I can smash it into bits and post it in a shoe box, choice is yours. Check my feedback and bid with absolute confidence. You've nothing to lose but your dignity. Payment via magic beans / beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkesman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I wonder if it's any good? Seriously though, it's already been bid up to 50 quid! By whom? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I like the question in the Q&A section of the eBay listing: Is it a genuine Chinese PPG model or a cheap Mexican import? The only thing better was the seller's reply. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That was awesome!! I wonder if it was one of the forum members here who asked the question. Totally great question!!! The reply was pretty good too!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Funny enough, I'd already seen this ad. It does grab your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Very funny and, yes, the Q+A are very funny, too! Seriously though, it's already been bid up to 50 quid! By whom? And why? I would have thought that the hardware must be worth a reasonable amount on its own. If anyone has a 'project' Strat-style (say) guitar then this would supply p'ups; trem bridge; the tuners are already replacements so might be ok; and so on... Pip.

MichaelT Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Q & A made me bust out laughing: Question & Answer Answered On Q: Hi, Is this a genuine Chinese PPG guitar or is it the cheap Mexican import? Thanks Neil Mar-20-17 A: Hi Neil, I understand your concern regarding the provenance of this bespoke masterpiece but I can assure you with absolute certainty that this instrument was produced in the centre of Satan's own anus. I hope that puts your mind at ease. All the best, and many thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, it obviously hadn't occurred to him either. He'd probably make more money by selling the parts individually, and then saving on his heating bill by using the rest as firewood! H.

SteveFord Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's worth buying and then framing the ad to go along with it. Bid early and bid often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If only he would ship to the US, I'd think about it just to be silly. The ad is a classic though and he's added another question and answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I am picturing "The Omen" in my head and the guitar killing its owner and sending itself to a new owner to destroy his/her life as well. I forsee hearing the original owner's screams come out the amp if it's ever plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
