Looks like this might be from a guy called freak matt who is on the matamp forum - i think he was from derby... possibly the same guy!!

JRR-94: shall i buy this?

for what its worth, i reckon the seller is being entirely honest, and that its a good guitar for the money.

i'm penduluming ;) secondhand jacksons rarely come up for sale. if i could get a black/gold RR5 or a Fernandes that would be ideal. i hear what has been said about the negative point of the bolt-on neck.

Soho Soundhouse have offered me a deal of £630 for a Kevin Bond Rhoads, and £699 for an RR24. Those are good prices, but obviously second hand will give me much better value. I've always been one for buying secondhand, and letting some other guy taking the depreciation hit.

Well to me it boiles down to what a guitar would add to what i allready have, then i still buy something anyway because i fall in love with something but anyway.

Ive had a twisted neck once and i got the strings off, opened the thrustrod an bit and let it set back to its original position (took 2 weeks or so), tightened the trustrod carefully and it was all fine again. Well 1 fret seem to have nodged a bit out of place, but i had it refretted anyway. A refretting job on an older guitar should always be taken into account imo, youll be getting it back like new so...

Im so curious about that case by the way  :wink:
