OP…..Can we please get this Reverb dickheads personal info so we can get “Thegame” on this travesty immediately!!!!Whoa!!! Those divots are DEEP!! Totally unacceptable if the guy said it plays great and frets are ok. He is either blind and has no feeling in his fingers or he is a shyster. If that showed up to me looking like that I would be god damned furious! In fact, I would rig talk the hell out and go berserk.
I use em alot and this is what it does to mine. Rough on em.I didn't even think about a capo......that has to be the reason they are so deep......................BINGO!
Haven’t read the whole thing yet but stopped to comment that you went astray when you believed the description of a 30 year old guitar as “excellent.” That’s a red flag for me. Not that 30 yo guitars can’t be in good condition, all things considering, but “excellent”? Red flag.
Yeah. I have seen a bunch of those excellent listings. I agree I would never list a 30 year old guitar that way, but some people I think use excellent as a relative term. Like Excellent for a 30 year old guitar. So I ask a lot of questions, ask for additional picks, and make my own judgement on condition. Wish I had asked for the fret close ups instead of taking him at his word. The rest of the guitar was major-blemish free, but it was not excellent. Looked like it hadn't been wiped down or set up in years, dust, grime ect. But it still looked cool and if the neck was good and the frets were good I would have polished her up and been fine he called it "excellent" even if I would have called her good to very good at best. I was going for the vintage/aged look.Went back and saw the frets, read through more. The seller was either being very dishonest or is an idiot. Those frets are done.
$500-600 for a total refret? Is that the going rate these days?
Don't want to name names. But here are my NGD picks that got robbed from me and I never got to use. I can share now that she is with UPS and I can't be tempted by some Rigtalk asshole that tells me: "You are crazy to return her...just keep her and fix the frets/neck". Didn't want to be tempted, because I want nothing to do with this guitar after this experience. But she looks good. I hope someone buys her (knowing the issues), fixes her and enjoys her.OP…..Can we please get this Reverb dickheads personal info so we can get “Thegame” on this travesty immediately!!!!
Threads will be started.
Names will be called.
Slanderous accusations will abound.
Chaos will rule all things Rigtalk.
I am glad your getting a refund.
Looks like he used a fret press as a capo.Someone's got some fucking stone hands to cause divots like that.
Oh man. That is absolutely beautiful! Damn.Don't want to name names. But here are my NGD picks that got robbed from me and I never got to use.

I know right? Pure shame she played so terribly.Oh man. That is absolutely beautiful! Damn.
I'm glad it worked out for you. Pretty isn't everything...I know right? Pure shame she played so terribly.
Chaos will rule yet again. Much name calling will happen, a conductor of chaos will be operating discreetly in the shadows egging his fellows on and encouraging their combined mayhem and menace. Leaving nothing but shivering denizen in their rear view. Rigtalk is now their dominion.OP…..Can we please get this Reverb dickheads personal info so we can get “Thegame” on this travesty immediately!!!!
