Ibanez Collector.... or Brent, I'm glad you have a sense of humor... I'm sure I'll be hearing about the EJ and Doppler comment for the next month.
Yes, in my original post, I did write about COA's and Neckplates.... the comment was "this doesn't have one."
This guitar is a Warmoth body, and a 1994 MIJ neck...nothing being hidden here.
For example...if we look at your thread on the "
John Mayer Relic" you made, I recall several comments like:
"That doesn't look good at all."
"I don't like it, it looks fake."
And I think it was Drew who said "I have a hard time believing that someone would pay you $1500.00 to do this, especially out of All Parts materials."
So.... you were probably the last person on the forum I expected negative press from as you are so used to taking it yourself.
I assure you, this MIJ 50's Reissue Neck and Warmoth Ash Body are at least twice the quality of anything from All Parts I've ever touched.
I saw your Mayer thread when it was still very active for several pages..... and to be honest, I didn't really care for it. But I wouldn't dare post that in a public forum as what would it gain anyone? Certainly not respect.... and I wouldn't do that as at the time you were probably putting alot of hours in it.
No, this guitar is not a USA Fender
Custom Shop. I never pretended it to be.
However, it is not a Squier either that someone has done on a lazy Sunday afternoon.....
If you don't like it.... thats cool.
But please don't call it something its not.
Many people on here collect Jem's.... if I referred to someones 777 as a 555 ten times, they probably would start getting a little upset.
