called out of curiosity, definitely not looking for a shit ton, said some dude offered him 75 for one that needs a lot of work and if he doesn't get a better deal within a few days he will let it go for that, he got them from his friend who worked for Bernie rico jr. I guess b rico owed his employee a bunch of cash and just said to take the guitars he was working on instead. he said the guitars have been sitting in that guys apartment for months and he just wanted them out of there. the guy that now has them had never even heard of Bernie rico jr guitars. he plays acoustic in a Mexican band, thought he might be able to make a couple hundred dollar profit on all of them.

is that black Friday sale what caused the end of Bernie rico jr guitars?

yeah, 17 is cool, I like that color. I don't play 7 string or 8 string guitars though.

I wouldn't touch those from a mile away. Bad karma...

Your not fucken kidding. Good probability that those unfinished guitars are the forgotten orders from the SS.org guys.

Not good. If folks paid deposits for these (seems likely), are these essentially stolen?

It depends. If BRJ filed for bankruptcy and then sold the assets or the landlord seized them for back rent or similar then sadly the customers are SOL.

I'd love to buy that bich and send it to Bret Gutierrez to have him finish it.

 

[maddnotez]

This is interesting. I really want one and the seller did say he would ship them.

But yeah, that is my issue I am not in San Fran. Trusting some random dude on Craigslist to ship me a guitar? Kind of risky and maybe that Karma would come to see me.

Speculation to say where the guitars came from but even if they were bought by and built for the seller himself, I still get that don't do it gut feeling.

Anyone close to San Fran want to pick up and ship me one of these?

I'm going to look at them next monday. Let me know which one you want.

Pic #4, #14 and #1 in that order. Only need one but that would be the preference.

I see alot of interest for #14 but I see his best offer was $75? I would pay $100 for that one or I guess I could entertain an offer of $75 for the others if those are his prices.

Really want #4 though the most and I would pay you extra for doing that

 

[Steinmetzify]

That red 8 went for a grand...or at least he said he had that offer...

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

That's ridiculous.

lol big difference between $75 and $8,000.

I'd buy one for that steal price but I wouldn't pay much more. Don't really know the story or the deal with these guitars.

He's wanting between $500-1000 for the one's that just need hardware and electronics. He's basically trying to get people to make him offers and says he's already been offered at least that. He says his phone is getting blown up.

After taking another look, basically all of them need more woodwork. At first it looked like a couple of them were just in need of hardware and electronics, but actually they have no floyd pockets that are finished, or have been drilled for any other kind of bridge for that matter. My interest is fading, unless I could buy the whole lot of them for cheap, which according to him isn't going to happen.

Yeah, im not paying $500-$1,000.

I could tell the ones I liked needed routing and was willing to make that happen but not at that price.

I am sure they are real Rico's but I shouldn't be buying anything right now. The only reason I would have was because of the price mentioned being a $75 offer. That would be pretty much something I would have to buy.

Honestly though, even at $1,000 if the guitars are real Rico they are worth that price. Just need a really good worker to finish them.

I don't know if I worded it wrong or what, but what I said was: he got an offer of $1,000 for the red 8 string. That one basically only needed tuners and a pickup. I don't see $1,000 as a huge obstacle for an 8 string BRJ; did you guys think I meant $8,000?

 

[RJF]

Well, looks like the dreams of picking up a BRJ for super cheap is pretty much gone. He took the add down.
