Raped BFP


Sad but true....170111097518

If he weren't ~1500 miles away I would kick his ass....

*cry* I love the BFP but how can someone just do this to such a beautiful guitar? Or am I hysteric?

Re: Raped BFP


That scalloping musta been done with a rusty rat tail file. Looks pretty rough.

Re: Raped BFP


Maybe he bought it to play and not just look at. I agree the scalloping looks awful, but its his mistake.

Re: Raped BFP


Then instead of selling it he should just take it out back and shoot it.

I love scallops, but he raped teh inlay. Scallops dont need to be that deep.

Re: Raped BFP


I don't think it's a reasonable act to scallop a BFP... I mean, you can get a nice RG and try anything you may like to see what you prefer...

But doin' this to a BFP and then sell it: NO!

For doing that to a BFP, he is the one who should be taken out back and shot!

It's really not bad enough to warrant the kind of reaction some of you guys are having.

Re: Raped BFP


guitvai1 - well said. Jesus he wanted it scalloped so he got it done, yeh it's deep but who cares, maybe he wanted it that way. of course going with the general attitude if he'd done it to an "inferior guitar" it'd be fine...haha
