My Unused J Custom RG8470A VV


Believe it or not, I had this guitar since February this year and I had not even play it even once. It has been sitting pretty inside its case and I am torn between wanting to sell it or just keep it and stare and admire it till the day I die. What do you guys think? One thing for sure, I want to keep it. But another part of me saying, whay the hell did you buy this guitar and not play it. Like to hear the pros and cons from you. Thanks

That's a very nice guitar, but not much use stuck inside its case!!

If you're not going to play it then you should sell it and get something you will play. That's a lot of money to have tied up in guitar that isn't a collectors piece

Re: My Unused J Custom RG8470A VV


how do you have a guitar like that for so damn long and not play it?! I'd play the **** out of that guitar if I could lay my hands on one.

Re: My Unused J Custom RG8470A VV


The pros is that the guitar is damn wicked and I'm feeling so jealous that I feel like coming over to singapore and whip your ass

The cons is that I'm coming over there and kick your ass for not playing such a beautiful guitar.... Are you sick or something

I know what you feel right now. Its a bit psychological for me. Whenever I touch the guitar, the first thing that came to my mind is Ding, Scratches and Dents. Like markg5150 said, some money is tied to the guitar, that is why I am so afraid for that to happen. Maybe I'm just nuts

What the finnish on the body like on J Customs? It looks non-glossy. And the back of the neck?

It is actually glossy. I use a digital SLR camera and the flash light, I actually bounced it off the ceiling. If I were to point the flash light directly at the guitar, the flash light will be seen on the guitar body when the picture is taken since it is glossy. And the neck, that is not crack. Its just the texture of the wood. I would not have bought it if it was a crack.

I am feeling vulnerable right now. Ask me the question again when I regain my senses.

I thought of doing that but that would push me to the brink of insanity.

You've got to play it or sell it.

If you play, be careful and don't ding it !!!!!
