Silenced Fred Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 "comes pre tuned" lol so if I show up and the guitar isn't tuned, can I bargain more of a price? Went to guitar center because my mom and sister went shopping at a mall. I have to say this guitar played amazingly and the color is gorgeous. Wish I had the 500 to take it home :( Then I played this Explorer. Great playing, but the back was covered in pink marks and they wanted just below new price for it. As I playing it, something felt off. Look at the stopbar and yep, strings were sliding around. No angle, no tension. I asked a floor guy why they didn't do anything he's like it allows for easier bending... Wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpanda Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 1. Bring a tuner, it will most likely be out of tune, then ask for 2/3 of the price! 2. damn, thats a real nice axe, I want one. 3. umm, I bet he plays guitar hero, NOT guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's YOU Fuzzy "Buddy" Fred. I kind of dig that turquoise color. Reminds me of the 1957 Chevy Bel Air my dad used to own. Cut my teeth on that car... literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FarnsBarns Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I once bought a guitar that had not been tuned. I had to take it to my local tech and it cost me £30 to get it tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 €pi did a run of Casinos in that tourquoise color a while back and I almost scored one for $200. It was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Riviera, that color is sweet. I've been trying to find the cheapest places for refins I'm seriously considering getting my LP refinished in a Pelham Blue, get a Sheraton and have that one go to this turquoise. I love weird blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You should look for one of the old "teal blue flip-flop" finished LP Studios or SG Specials. They're hard to find but that finish is soooo sweet. I almost got one of those SGs too haha. I've wanted a tourquoise guitar for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Music Exchange used to have a few, but they wanted like 1500 for them. Not gonna pay that for a used special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 That's the thing about them.. They're really sweet but everyone wants way too much for them. I've found one for a good price but I didn't have the cash. I really wanted to get it and throw some p90s in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather just refinish my LP, its gonna be a nifty guitar when I'm done with it. Bigsby, DeArmond and TV Jones pickups, might add a third pickup to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the guy who said that the guitar comes pre-tuned, thats its not tuned to the tuning you wanted. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahKeen Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Also ask him if you can get it post-tuned once it gets out of tune. And that you'll only buy it if it was pre-tuned by Buddy himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 How about a 5 string electric ibanez? :D http://kansascity.craigslist.org/msg/2274437949.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definately gonna go and the tickets are $10 so I'm pretty stoked. Not as sweet as seeing them with the Black Keys but still pretty awesome.

I'd leave it as is to maintain its value, and would just show it off to my friends . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tix are like 15 bucks, but its 21+ No joke, I love the Black Keys, but the Greenhornes were astounding. They sounded so good.

Dub-T-123 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's good to hear. I'm excited. They better play Pigtails and Kneesocks! That's my jam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it was stuff off of their new album with a few of their big hits. They just sounded awesome. And Craig Fox played a few sweet SGs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I figured they'd play the new album. I'm gonna yell out pigtails and kneesocks though because I want to hear that song live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, if its a smaller show, they might. Their set was very tight, but not much interaction with the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
