I am thinking of tweaking the Stang more because alot of these family rigs are coming with some HP numbers, I am guessing I have around 310 RWHP now. Funny thing is that my mileage went up around 1 MPG after all the stuff, she breathes WAY better now.

Ever take it to the track? That's where it's really fun. I've had some muscle cars (78 400 T/A, 79 400 T/A w/73 HO 400 engine (custom!), 78 350 camaro, 80 350 camaro w/race engine) and some import stuff (twin turbo supra, AWD turbo talon) - taking all of them to the track was fun, and you don't have to worry about innocent bystanders, other drivers or cops. AND you have a number you can compare with others

[again with this]

The only thing I put together was the neck on the body, screwing 4 bolts together that anyone could do. All of the wiring, hardware, finishing, fretwork, etc. was done by Caparison. Look at all the other Caparisons on Ebay, most of them also include all of the paperwork even if they're used. It's posted right on the Caparison website that the warranty is only valid if you buy the guitar new from the authorized dealer in your country. I've included the paperwork with basically every Caparison I've ever sold and nobody has ever had a problem with that before.

Who intonated the guitar/set it up w/ neck adjustment after the neck swap? There is more than just tightening 4 bolts.

Sweet. back to the guitar talk... Where's that popcorn smiley... ah, there..

But, it's just four bolts.

Not to jump off track but the Subaru takes high test and runs at 230HP

Well the neck was already setup in B tuning and so was the bridge on the body so only a slight adjustment was needed.

Not the Stang, I did have a 1970 340 Duster that I took to the old Stafford Springs Dragway here in CT and pulled constant 13.20s with street 60s. That 340 was one great engine, 7000rpm all day after the forged stuff went in.

I am about 40 miles from Limerock and would love to take my car out there

What type of a slight adjustment?

 

[LedZep77]

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if you screwed in 4 bolts or 1 bolt. The issue lies in the fact that YOU modified the guitar, not a known professional, or the manufacturer. I'm not saying your work on the guitar is poor, but I think there would be a large change in value if people knew that you did work on it, and not a professional/manufacturer. If I were a buyer, I would certainly like to know what modifications were done, and who performed them.

Oh crap, not this again...

The neck with the maple board was already setup in B tuning? If so, it would still require adjustment on a different guitar. Not all guitars - not even Caparisons - were created equal.

bottom line is this...i know mark is generally a good guy, and he's not out to screw anyone, but...

when you're selling a $2000+ instrument, you owe it to the buyer to be as clear as possible on every little detail of information you have available on that instrument. the auction i'm seeing states the facts in a vague fashion, and any responsible seller should simply know better than that

to the average player i can see that it may as well be a custom guitar, because you can't just go buy a model like that one...but what if the buyer is a collector, thinking this guitar will go up in value over the years? then later he finds out this guitar isn't what he thought it was; as far as that guy is concerned it may as well be a counterfeit

from a seller's standpoint...all it takes is one pissed off buyer (especially in a situation that could've easily been avoided) to ruin one's reputation as a seller for life

 

[Slaytallica]

Wow,

You know Mark for someone who thinks highly of himself as "THE" Caparison Authority, which you may be at least here and at other forums, you sure have a lot to learn about the ethics of selling something.

First of all for you to presume that only people that really know about Caparisons will by this guitar is such a ignorant statement.

I'm in no way a Caparison expert. I have thought about buying one from time to time. When I saw this one I liked it even thought about it. That said, I see a warranty card in the pictures as part of the case candy and think this thing is still under warranty. It's not according to your statement "Anyone who knows anything about Caparisons know they are not covered under warranty" I didn't know that and I'm sure many others do not.

Also being a member of many forums as you are I know your guitar. I've read the threads from when you got it with the plain body, to the cloud swap and everything else. If I did not know and I was some random guitar player looking for a Caparison I would of taken your word in the ebay listing as being custom, when in fact you pieced together a guitar.
Here is the thing Mark,
IT'S NOT A CUSTOM BUILT GUITAR. For you to say that is nothing less than a lie. It's not 100% original. You did a swap job bottom line. You made a project guitar and although it looks great your misrepresenting the item. It's not new, it's not original from the factory, nor was it set up professionally.

"It's only 4 bolts" You have got to be kidding me? Dude c'mon bro, you know better than that. If it was only 4 bolts then guitar's wouldn't need setups now would they.

Bottom line Mark, You give us a lot to laugh about with your buying and selling habits, but you have a lot to learn about being a business man. You've always been a cool and funny kid but you need to start leaving that kid shit behind and start being a man. Be honest in everything you do and you will be well respected and you won't get this kind of shit.

I've never had issues with you but this is not the first time you've come off shady in one of your deals. You really need to check yourself because though none of us here really know each other personally, only a few of us, this is a place where many of us think of each other as friends and it's pretty fucked up when you try to get over on your friends.

Peace

SLAY

Nobody else has had any problems with my listing on any other forums and they all know what the guitar is. As I've said, I see no problems with my listing.

Honestly man, why can you never admit you're wrong? It's not a very becoming attribute in your personality. A little humility now and again would go a long way.

Because I don't think there's anything wrong with the listing. Sorry man, I really don't.

 

[ejecta]

You need to list on the auction that it was you that changed the neck and not Caparison. It still reads like it was Caparison. Be a man and do the right thing Mark.
