White Refin guy strikes again!
This vintage guitar dealer in Florida has repainted another original finish '75 Flying V in white. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330378350976&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITThis guitar #550935 had the original natural finish before he painted it. Now, I love white V's. I've got one. But I've also got 2 natural V's and would never think of refinishing them. You see I'm a guitar player who love's old V's and not a money-grubbing dealer snob like this guy is. Further, he leaves out a lot of truths about this guitar. It originally had 2 replacement tuners for the D & G strings, EMG pickups w/added tone pot, and it had a replacement tailpiece (the kind with fine tuners). He states that "the pickguard and possibly one of the pots are the only parts that are not original" He knows this is clearly false and I know that this is false as I've got pics of this guitar with those non-original parts on it. OK, so he puts the similar correct vintage parts back on it but since these parts are not original to this guitar shouldn't he disclose that information? Wouldn't you want to know this if you were contemplating paying $3K for this instrument? Sorry for the long post guys. I hate guitar dealers. Most can't even play the opening riff to Smoke on the Water.
