I remember the local GC here had a realllllly gorgeous Brian Moore Guitars top of the line ax, the one with the piezo, fancy electronics, etc. I drooled over it in the pics....then I saw it in person. All the fancy electronics had been gutted and it was just a regular 1 vol/1 tone guitar with the Duncans or whatever. The neck had some issues around the nut, or the binding (if it had it, I can't remember) or something, and there was a massive crack in the body. I mean wood separating from itself crack, literally like the guitar was swung into something. They STILL wasn't like $1300 for it or something like that. I had a friend that's a luthier that could have helped me fix all the issues and we respray it so I called and offered I think $300, reminding them it'd take hundreds of dollars to repair and they declined the offer.
