Re: Restoring my 1960 'Burst... need HELP..!!
to fix a pickup (re-pot? Re-wire?) £50
to fix a cracked neck, assume they remove the headstock clean off and do a new join, then respray, looking at £150
they are asking you to effectively take a £5k hit for those 2 small pieces of work? Tell them give you an invoice for the 2 pieces of work (if they even took place) and reverse the deal in full minus the 2 bits of work they have, circa £200.
its THEIR problem for selling a guitar falsely to you. They need to reverse it.
what you have described, a £5k deduction for those 2 poxy pieces of work is CRIMINAL
tell them to give you back your money and FU*KOFF !!!! These guys are literally scum
Yes Ted, very strange.... As is a message I got this morning that they've just realised they CAN'T reverse the deal as they've already had to do some work on my p/x guitars. For instance one of the pickups on my '72 Standard wasn't working - which is strange because it was working perfectly just before I set off to do the deal, and had been working for the previous 35 years that I'd owned it.....
Also, apparently my '79 Custom had a crack in the neck which they've had to get fixed.... and re-sprayed. Also strange as it must have happened on the back seat of my car... in its case.
So they've now offered me £25k to return the "1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard" and to then go away presumably...
Any thoughts anyone? :hmm
