I believe I won't get a response to my email as I think RC has fallen for the smooth talking, gold plated tongue of this dude...Rod has been working in conjunction with Martin Napier Company Director Bogner NZ with Electric Guitars and also the prestigious Bogner Amplifiers USA as an extension of supplying a better product to to customers
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Capo guitars
I find it frustrating that despite all of the unanswered questions on his auctions and numerous people reporting them, for the most part TM are just leaving his shady listings up

So is he ripping off a Chinese ripoff?

Re: Capo guitars
Yep. Look at the specs on this and compare to what he's selling.

Re: Capo guitars
Some of you appear to know this Rod Capper, so why don't you direct him to this thread - might give him a different perspective on his relationship with this "goldplated" character.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

Re: Capo guitars
Great idea. May be better him seeing the collective 'feedback' from all of us rather than contacting him on an individual basis, should at least make him take a step back and think

Re: Capo guitars
Not so sure thats a good idea - that might lead to the loon himself coming here, and thats the last thing I'd want!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Capo guitars
As said before, it appears Rod has fallen for this dude and given his permission. Obviously he doesn't realise what character he is dealing with... I have not seen his response to my email so a person who knows him well may be better positioned to alert him.Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 9:29 amGreat idea.
