ksdaddy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 A couple weeks ago I bid $10 or $20 on a junk Fender body. A couple days into the auction, the seller cancelled my bid, stopped the auction, relisted it with a $99 buy it now, and it immediately sold. This told me there were some emails exchanged and a deal arranged. Fine, that's just the way things go sometimes. I'd be lying if I said I haven't done that in the past, from both sides of the transaction. Here is the auction: An ebay auction Well apparently the guy had some severe buyer's remorse and put it back up on ebay. Guess what I bought last night? And note the price. I believe he took a loss. I did confirm the shards of the top and the bridge will be incuded. Another ebay auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-200 Koa Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 After seeing your banjo restoration project, I am beginning to see a pattern developing. Apparently, as long as it is not down to sawdust, Scott will bring new life to it. Heck, I have some sawdust in my shop that I may send Scott just to see how good he really is!

ksdaddy Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 This one may end up as a shadow box though. I rebuilt one old Fender in similar condition by making a new top from scratch. I don't think I'll ever do that again. It was a noble idea and the guitar turned out good, but for some reason it just lost all vintage vibe. It now has the aura of being a modern replica of an old guitar. Psychological more than actual, I think... In a perfect world I'd find another Concert with a smashed back and graft the two together, but I doubt that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Somehow the phrase "Glutton for punishment" comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
