Big Bill Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not a good idea, especially when you been drinking. https://reverb.com/item/25589464-gibson-les-paul-tribute-t-2017-with-seth-lovers-pups-and-50-s-wiring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I offered $35 and told the guy he’s an idiot. Hope I get it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think his definition of "very good" is different from ours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm watching it... LMAO! Oh man... OH, MAN! That seriously looks like the belt sander got away from him - or it got dragged behind his pickup truck... I'm not even going to try. That thing looks like poop, plain and simple 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I just sold my Tribute T on Reverb and I did come across this hideous thing. Wow. Just wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 He'd get more money for it if he just finished taking off all the finish and sell it as a "kit" guitar... Sell the pickups separately, the hardware... Expecting to start at nearly $815 out of someone's pocket to get this atrocity. Honestly if they sold everything a la carte, it would be better - and the guitar sanded or not minus all HW. I'm sure that if it gets shipped to you, it comes without a box, out of the case, and sticker right on the guitar's top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Vet. Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Two things I had in common with Tom Petty. We are both from the South and we both wanted our guitars to always look pristine. Now skill set, talent level we were miles apart. Edited July 26, 2019 by Navy Vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That's what my guitars look like after I attempt any type of finish repair. That's why now I just leave them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Poor little Goldtop. I feel bad for the guitar. What did it do to deserve that? So sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 We should send that picture to Tom Murphy. No, maybe not. He'd probably die from laughter or a heart attack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The seller has great feedback as a seller from what I can see, so he's obviously letting the pictures speak for themselves. I don't think he's going to get anywhere near what he's asking though. For the money he's asking, you could get something way better. Hey, worth a try right?

zigzag Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I've never understood the appeal of a relic, other than erasing the disgust with the first ding on a pristine guitar... a battle scar I have to claim as my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) I guess we razzed him so much that he took the sale down!!! Or Gibson filed a lawsuit for destruction of an American Icon!! Edited July 27, 2019 by Big Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 When doing a "self relic" job, it is always good to remove the blindfold prior to picking up the belt sander. Just a special trick that others discovered previously ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hey it sold... I sort of thought it would. I’m sure someone gave a good offer on it he couldn’t refuse. I one time sold a totally sanded down Gibson with a repaired neck crack and refret. Sold same day I listed on Reverb. Got a ton of offers. But then again I listed for a tick over $200 which was a good deal I guess. A lot of guys looking for a DIY deal out there which is pretty cool if you ask me. But as far as how the thing was relived, it was an awful job. I’d want to strip it bare if I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why when I click on the listing is says the item has sold? Usually if you simply remove a listing it says “ended” or something like that but definitely not sold... either way no biggie. I’m not entirely sure but maybe not showing up yet because the item hasn’t been received by buyer yet? Interested to know if this is how it works.

Okay, which of you bought that thing?? Did he accept Dup-T's offer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
