Thanks for the support and commiseration guys. This really sux. I don't mind admitting to you guys that seeing that damaged guitar was practically like seeing an animal or person get injured. I know you guys can understand the feelings one can have for a musical instrument. The seller is...

Just a followup, the seller is helping me get the ball rolling with the insurance claim and I should end up losing out only the shipping and customs charges and with a "repairable" guitar. He said shipping like this isn't uncommon and he rarely has problems. I've NEVER gotten a guitar with...

Well I got home from work and eagerly looked for the box. I was a bit dismayed to see this tiny box: Guess what happens to a guitar that is shipped thousands of miles in a single tiny box with no padding or protection whatsoever??? :roll: :cry: :cry: :x :cry: :cry:

The mail man just brought it!! :D But he wanted a check for $60 for "customs!" :evil: Has anyone ever heard of that? Is that normal? I've gotten lots of small items from abroad sent to me here in the USA and have never heard of such a thing, what is the deal?

You guys are the best. I'm so excited! I keep checking the tracking but it's still in Japan :lol: Most likely I'll be taking pictures of every nook and cranny. I like to play WITH my gear almost as much as actually playing it! I'd generally clean and polish it thoroughly, treat the...

What possible model numbers could it be? How will I know which model it is aside from the possible maple top?

Wow I really appreciate your guys enthusiasm!! Thanks for the responses. I've almost bid on a few of these over the past couple years. Either Greco or Burny white custom. There were a couple I just hear calling out to me across the planet - "buy me!" ha ha ha. I should really start...

Hi everyone, I am extremely appreciative of the vast amount of information I have learned from this forum. Now it's my turn to post :D I just purchased a nice white Burny LP custom copy. It has the "correct" truss rod cover shape and diamond inlay. No volute. Any guesses as to a year or...
