I like the color. It’s just shoddily done, and it sure as hell isn’t “Burgandy Mist”.

Whatever the hell is going on here, A Fender Marauder's scale length is 25.5 but a Gibson Marauder neck is 24.75 so it'd never intonate properly https://reverb.com/item/22365091-fender ... auder-neck

without having an ounce of creativity to pull it off... S'pose it's a tad more creative than the 'revolutionary' mashups of a Fender body design with another Fender's hardware on it, but it's still a pile of crap.

Looks like the neck heel has been routed in a bit so I reckon it probably would intonate.X-Ray Spex wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:50 amWhatever the hell is going on here, A Fender Marauder's scale length is 25.5 but a Gibson Marauder neck is 24.75 so it'd never intonate properly https://reverb.com/item/22365091-fender ... auder-neck
It's quite a nightmare though.

I actually kinde like the looks of it, it is so bad, it's cool in a way. However, I doubt it would intonate anywhere on the neck

Is it a physical shop too? Had a look at their other items and was surprised to see some pretty high end guitars. Personally I'd view those hideous mashups as a bit of a reputation ruiner. I'd deffo be less inclined to spend my money at a place that would do such a thingmarqueemoon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:28 pm

This should work. I think they both look really cool and it's kind of my humour too. Plain stupid and way too nerdy to be funny.

Yes, it’s a brick-and-mortar shop. It’s one of the older ones around here, actually.mgeek wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 12:14 amIs it a physical shop too?

I think the vintage guitar market is due for a major correction soon. Vintage guitars are really the domain of Baby Boomers, and of course they can’t take their gear with them.
I think as a shop you need to offer the kids these days something to spend their avocado toast money on, but these are pretty bad.

Yeah totally agree. In 20 years no one is gonna pay stupid money for a strat cos Eric Clapton played one. And like all the classic bubbles, most currently expensive vintage guitars aren't the rare ones, they are the most common...marqueemoon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:43 am

Re: "Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"
Yeah, it’s really beyond ridiculous. I’d have bought ten jaguars and 15 Jazzmasters in the early-2000s if I had any idea whatsoever that they’d eventually skyrocket the way they have in price. I know a lot of us feel that way but it’s annoying that even though that’s a common sentiment, it’s not lowering prices. Even five years ago I could have bought my dream guitar for damn close to half of what these monsters are trying to get for them today.
Searching reverb for 1966 Jazzmasters and seeing people with a straight face list them for $4,000/$5,000, and that’s not even the custom color ones.
I like to hope that we’ll see some kind of correction, and basic economics says it’ll happen the same way art glass from my home state until the past few years was a highly valuable commodity until typical collectors started dying off in large numbers and leaving massive collections to flood the market which enables me to buy cool vaseline glass for pennies on the dollar at flea markets every weekend. Vintage guitars are something else entirely, though. What is cheap? A new Les Paul or current top of the line Strat is $1,500-$2,500 - so does this mean the new guitars will come way down in price too? Because if I can look at a 62 Jazzmaster and an AO60s Jazzmaster side by side and the AO60s is $2,000 brand new, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to own one if you can just get a vintage one, a real one, for the same amount of money.
I know a pre-CBS Stratocaster is tens of thousands of dollars at this point so comparatively, if that drops down to $10,000 of course that’s technically cheaper, but still unattainable for any working musician. For fucks sake, $5,000 is more money than an insane majority of guitarists can afford.
Someone who’s more well-versed in economics - I would love to see some kind of explanation, or projection, if that’s possible. Are $25,000 guitars going to become $10,000 guitars and everybody calls it a win? Or should we expect something a little more substantial that’ll actually affect us in a positive way? Is knowing any of this even remotely possible? Personally I’d love to see the market crash and be able to buy amazing examples of everything I’ve ever wanted for the same price as an American Standard, I just don’t ever see that happening.
