Not Craigslist... but Facebook

Well at least you know it can be tuned. Years ago my brother worked in a music store and had a customer try and return a guitar because it came out of tune after he played it.

 

I've been a bit taken back by the number of bass and guitar ads I've seen in recent years saying something like, "will need tuning." It was bad enough when it was just piano ads, but now it's gotten downright silly. (Along the same lines, another of my interests is vintage fountain pens, and the number of eBay ads saying "may need ink" leaves me scratching my head the same way.)

 

Warning: coffee contents are hot. It's there for the lowest common sense denominator

 

That's a bargain, an un-tuned Semick guitar goes for about $80.

 

These music stores have a lot of nerve, expecting us to tune guitars when we play them...

 

....and to think y'all whined and moaned about Gibson's RoboTuner thingees.... LOL

 

Looks like it also has a strip of finish ripped off back..

 

I'm not surprised that they think being tuned is a quality to look for. I was surprised to see how many people take their guitars in to a shop for new strings.

 

forget it, tone knob for the bridge pup is missing. not a penny over $49.

 

Yes, for neophyte guitarists a "tuned" guitar could be a selling point....lol
I too am amazed at musicians that take their guitars or basses into the shop to have the strings changed.
Really? why?
I did work with an older musician that never changed his own strings in 30+ years of playing.
He could afford to have the local guitar shop tech come out to his house and restring his 22 PRS guitars and
15 American Strats on a regular basis, sometimes daily.
When we played a gig, he brought 3 PRS' in case he broke a string.
I asked him why he needed 22 Paul Reed Smith guitars when they were all the same model?
They are all different colors and it depends on what I'm wearing that day, which one I'll play!

I should have stayed in school and become a successful divorce attorney like him then I'd be able to
indulge my own whims.

 

I had a similar guitar back in the day.

..But i traded it in to GameStop for store credit

 

C..c...can I have one?

 

No whammy bar? That may be the missing link to untuned guitars after one song. You really got a deal if they kept the whammy bar.

 

Pre-tuned? That's more than you get from GC...

 

What gets me is how many guitars for sale that are new and never been played! Why the hell buy them then

 

People in Woodbury Heights are a little on the slow side. At least that's common knowledge in NJ

 

I got a Gibson SG with robo-tuners a few months ago and I just love them. You hit a button and in a few seconds its ready. German engineering triumphs again

 

The same reason people join health clubs and gyms then never go.

 

Doesn't say 'may contain traces of nuts' EXTERMINATE!
