TJ... I actually bid more than that!
But I didn't make the Reserve and said "Oh Well" and went to bed.
When I woke-up I had a second chance offer.
I actually had the very first bid on that...
and I asked him about the "Played so little i havent had to change a string on it yet!" statement.
He said that he got it for looks cuz it matched the red walls of the studio. :confused:
Hope I get it in time for Christmas.

Every time I see a photo of myself with the Orange Flamer, I miss it.
(We'll see how long I keep this one)

After seeing and hearing Phil's 1778T-RF at the tour in '06, I knew I had to have one some day. When Tim put his up for sale last year, I hopped on it. The looks on this custom painted model are just stunning, and it has a midrange clarity that contributes to what SWMBO believes is the best sounding guitar in the bandroom. It also gets the most attention when I have visitors in the bandroom. If I don't turn my life around in short order, this is probably the appropriate guitar to be buried with.

Brad,
I knew you really liked it when you played it at the tour. I put new strings on it one week prior.

Either OMA's seller has another one, or he is relisting this one for some reason?

GCXT On Ebay??

[/qb]Why does Gibson put the bridge on there upside-down? [/QB]

Maybe they had to cuz somebody drilled the pin holes on the wrong side of the saddle. Just a guess...

I told TJ... I wasn't gonna bore y'all, but here goes--

Scam! I was the high bidder, higher than that sale price...
I woke-up to the Second Chance Offer, and after making sure it was real I Paid For It.
And then he emailed me wanting more money than I bid.
Dude tried to tell me that he accidentally sent to Second Chance Offer to me.
Any of you that are familiar with evilBay will know that it is impossible to accidentally sent a SCO.
Anyway... He email me wanting more money, so I called him and got my money back.
[Told him I had Friends in Joisey and Florida!]
I have never left a negative FB, so today I only left a neutral.
I am hoping that anybody buying from a guy with 2 FB points would look at the FB and be Cautious.

Oh well... I will find myself another Christmas Present, if it is in the cards? :confused:
The BCR Perfekt 10 got destroyed by UPS, this is a scam... So I should just be patient.

Glad to hear you got your money back, at least. There will be other toys to buy.
