    They are mine, I actually have six more that I haven't listed yet.

    They have to be dekos as there is no other way to buy them cheaply enough and sell them at a profit, ebay will take 10% and paypal 3.4%. He does accept offers on them. He is very careful generally to hide the front face of the headstock so that unsuspecting buyers can't go off and research what...

    I think you will find it is the same person. I have seen them `both' before but listings from both ebay id's have the same feel, for instance the both say that the guitar `WILL BE WELL PACKAGED AND SENT BY PARCELFORCE 48'. Looking at their listings they both seem to have the same rug!

    What's the point if they are not dekos? They must be buying them cheap once you factor in the ebay and paypal fees.

    It's just dishonest and there are numerous problems with it. Thomann sell dekos at large discounts and I think it's immoral for someone to profit from it on a large scale, as I understand dekos are in demand and now you know why, I can't imagine this is what Thomann intend to happen. Selling...

    I just looked at my pictures of my PB-50 on page 218. It's quite strange this, mine was one of the first ones in red and whilst the strings are not aligned with the pick-up pole pieces exactly (the E and G strings particularly) they are even, the strings are centred on the neck and over the...

    I agree, I am sure that there are issues with some guitars but Thomann are really good, they will replace or take back anything so really there are no worries, they even collect the faulty item, I know this as I had two arrive with damage to the bodies, it was really easy to get replacements...

    But, you can get sharp fret ends on any guitar, whatever the cost, it's metal in wood and they age differently, it's not necessarily a sign of poor quality, misaligned bridges are a different thing altogether, they shouldn't happen and I don't have any.

    I have bought more Harley Benton's in the last three or four months than I could ever need, more than enough to form a representative sample, I would say the quality is outstanding. It's really difficult not to say `for what they cost' but I think they are just really nice, I treasure them in...

    I am more than happy with it. My pictures are an accurate representation of the colour, at least on my computer screen.

    Here are pictures as promised. The rough edge on the pickguard is the plastic film that I have not yet removed.

    I will do some pictures at the weekend, I meant to do some over Easter and get myself a number but ended up getting distracted with other things! I think I deserve a number as I actually have seven Harley Benton basses, all a result of reading this topic, I bought one out of curiosity and was...

    Hello, I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I pre-ordered a red PB-50 (right handed) and I was expecting it some time after 26 March but to my surprise it arrived a few days before that (around 23 March). I would take some photos but it is at home in the UK and I am working in...
