I was going to see if I could Trademark the design of guitars with 6 strings but I was told to join the queue behind KKR & Co
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

"This newly hand RE-BUILD CAPO LP is a pinnacle of success built here in NZ and finishing set up intonation by the worlds top luthier Rod Capper"

Wtf hand RE-BUILD? Does the kit come built and he takes it apart and builds it again? Like lego?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

It was one of those answers which just left me with more questions.

He's listed a nice looking Gibson Chet Atkins. No idea if his price is reasonable. I wonder if he bought the one from Whangarei with the old headstock repair and is trying to flick it for a profit.

Gold-plated was the buyer for that one. Saw a couple where the feedback on his selling isn't good.

Surely that's reportable, isn't it? That's along the lines of shill bidding.

It sure is weird feedback for a buyer, from a seller. Makes you wonder if they are one and the same.

Looks like a trader that sells chinese tat, probably pastes that feedback in for every trade.
