He's probably still waiting on Paypal. Tell him you'll refund his money and ask him to ship it back. Refund happens after the amp is back in your possession. Let Paypal and Reverb know that this is your resolution for the issue.
If he complains about getting the money first, tell him that...
Why not just avoid Paypal, Reverb and the like? Have him ship it back, refund the money and call him an asshole? This seems like a lot of hassle to put up with. You're out the money you paid to ship it to him, he's out the money to ship it back to you.
At the end of the day, I'd hope that with...
Photobucket must be doing something weird again.
Still have the LPC Iron Cross, though it's promised in trade for a guitar that's currently being built.
I have three of the Proline/Warwick 7 guitar stands. They're reasonable for what they are. The Les Pauls and other single cuts are all a bit close together, so you have to be careful pulling them out and putting them back in. I've also put old t-shirts on all of the foam so I don't have to...
I use the EB Not Even Slinkys (.012 to .056) in C standard on Eclipses. I'd probably be fine with it a half-step lower in B standard.
I'm able to get the .056 to string through a Sperzel, though I usually have to make sure it's a pretty clean cut on the end of the string before threading it.
Bridge with the big screws is still the quickest, easiest tell. But the distance between the bridge and the stop bar is too big. Also the shape of the cut-away and by the switch are pretty wrong.
I can tell on ESPs and Les Pauls better than any other, but those are the guitars I like best. If...
I find the value for almost any ESP/LTD is pretty good for the price point. I've had LTDs as low as the 200 level, and have E-II, Standard Series ESPs and Custom Shop ESPs. Their current price structure for the E-II and CS instruments are a bit high for my liking, but there's great value in...
For some reason, the 4 knob Eclipses don't sell as well as the 3 knob versions. Most of mine are 4 knob. I prefer them that way, even though I never use a tone knob. #grandpaguitar
Stateside, I'll typically use any combination of stewmac, Philadelphia Luthier Supply and guitarpartsresource for parts including the screws in different finishes.
And, of course, there's eBay.
You know, that's odd. I just replaced the hardware on a different Eclipse (an 04) and the bushing for the stop bar wasn't an M8. I bought a cosmo black Gotoh stop bar and the bolts didn't fit. The bushings ended up being SAE. I can't remember where I bought the replacement bolts, and I can't...
I used the Tone Pros LPM02 set for the bridge and stop bar. - http://www.tonepros.com/lpm02-tonepros- ... rge-posts/

And depending on what tuners you have either the 3+3 Sperzels (I believe it would still be...
I redid the photo after I built out my basement. This time I actually did (just barely) put the black "ghost flame" on the black one.
TBH, I'm not sure which picture I think is cooler, the altered one, or the layout in the original color.
As for the prices, I see people asking all sorts of...
The Het sigs are always a bit surprising to me. I can't quite see why they demand the prices they do, especially since Het didn't really play most of his "sig" guitars after they hit the public. The prices are in flux lately, but I certainly would expect north of $4k USD for the JH-2. You'd...
