The scalloping looks nice. The rest is awfull. The trem has been set up all wrong, 4mm action on the 12th fret with minor fret buzz? C'mon, I can get better action on a guitar from a toy store. Thick gooish lacquer in the neck pocket. The pic of the neck in the pocket shows a gigantic cavity. Bats could live in there. Air venting system, they call it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What an utter piece of junk. The pics and the sales pitch are hilarious. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is this seller serious????

I think he posted it more as a warning to others not to buy one of these guitars. ;)

Nope. The sarcasm is laid on pretty thick.

I guess that's one way of getting back at a company for dodgy products and service. I'll have to keep it in mind. :twisted:

In that case, I'll check out the builder/dealer. I need some firewood. Maybe they'll have some basses too for those long, cold winter nights. 8)

Wow - I wonder how long ebay will allow that advert to stay up there or if it violates their AUP (Acceptable user protocols).

Or maybe the Yanks havent realised that there is irony involved
Having said that - I kind of cringed at the work shown

from the first two pics you couldnt tell that much.. the neck looked pretty nice.. but on the closeups LMAO!!!

looks like it's been scalloped with an exacto knife.. the frets beveled and dressed with 100 grit sand paper

lol.. the auction is hilarious

<3 the bridge screws part

:D I hope Ebay leave this up for a while. It`s the best way of getting your own back. :twisted:

I use ebay quite a bit and have seen Customguitarworld guitars advertised there. I was actually considering buying one once... It was a Jackson Randy Rhoads replica for £135. I couldn't afford the real thing. Thank god I didn't get one!!!

PS: I think they use better quality guitars for the promo shots in their official ebay auctions.
