britheguy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Has the music world gone bonkers,1962 FENDER STRATOCASTER PICKGUARD on eBay, also Right-Handed, Electric, Guitar, Musical Instruments (end time 21-Feb-09 01:58:21 GMT)1962 GIBSON SG STANDARD CASE on eBay, also Gibson, Electric, Guitars, Musical Instruments (end time 16-Feb-09 12:48:02 GMT)Is there any need for this sort of over priced anal 'must be original' pish? This must raise the issue of the whole 'original' debate anyway. what would be the chance of the pickguard being fitted to the guitar it was originally fitted to etc? Hence making it non original.Bollocks to it all:swearing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wouldn't care if Jimi Hendrix himself had blown his load over it, there's no way I would pay 3000 for a guitar, let alone a scratchplate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lame Guitarist Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 They could be taking any old plate, roughing it up a bit and saying its a 1958 strats plate or something like that.I wouldnt trust a place like that one bit. Who on earth would rave about owning a scratchplate with no proof that it actually came from that year except the shops word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
