Looks interesting, thought it might interest you guys.

Looks like they are breaking guitars down into parts and selling them at prices that end up making more money than selling a guitar - cunning lot!

[Adam.M]

And if it doesn't work, stick 'em back together and sell as a complete guitar.

Works!

They make a mint doing it too....

I've bought loads of stuff from that seller!

[horsehead]

I got a hot rod strat body with a nitrocellulose finish off them for £99, so they have bargins from time to time

There's a "store" here in the US that does the same thing. I think it's a great idea.

[Adam.M]

So what do they do, buy guitars second hand and sell the bits on... ?

I wonder if this is something i could do in my spare time...

I once saw a PRS CE body and neck and bits on ebay, i thought that was blashpemy! but strats and teles, i aint so fussed.

So what do they do, buy guitars second hand and sell the bits on... ?

Some second-hand, but mostly absolutely brand new - I've got a Tele neck where the frets haven't been dressed yet, and a maple Strat neck which still has lacquer completely covering the frets!

They make loads more money from selling separate bits than they would from selling a whole guitar.

Interesting... i'm about to loose my job, so this could be something i could start doing to get some cash coming in.

I already have a fender bass neck to sell... hahaha!

Is it me or is the postage on these items a bit steep?

[Adam.M]

Yeah, i'd be interested in the PRS Case for my PRS if it were cheaper on the shipping. over a hundred quid aint cool for a case.
