SPAM: Well, I have a '71 in the "for sale" reasonably priced with a description, let me know if you need more!
Guy that calls himself a Shop has a 1974 F20 on the Verb for quite a lot of money, and zip about anything beyond a scratch. No mention of wear tear action playability intonation anything.
Been looking at it a while, it's been up 7 months, so I holler saying I need to know certain things before I can even think about thinking about a purchase, and this is what happened.
Me, after explaining my now somewhat longtime interest in this guitar and my inability to move forward without more information.
Him
His words nothing touched up.
I thought dang that's rude ( - and "I'll report him" to Reverb, for "rudeness", as if they would care?
So instead I was like even though "Your the only guy" who's ever been this rude (and supposedly naive) about a 45 year old acoustic guitar they were asking a lot of money for, I'm going to make you a celebrity today ;-))
If only I hung out on more forums I could really make a lot of guy's day with this one, and you got to admire his admiration for Guilds. Do feel free to pass it around anywhere you like. I think this really deserves some attention, lol. Is it me, or is this a common response you've run into before? Freakin priceless...
"It's a Guild"
That's all you need to know ;-)))
Lawn Boy has a Honda motor? Well, if that's true I have to give them a second look next time I shop for a mower.
Now, if you want to talk about a total a$$-kicking snowblower, check out the huge tracks (o' land) on this puppy This thing has really helped me out the last few weeks!:
In the name of all that is good and holy, mount a gun turret on that thing.
Functional or replica, your choice (I won't judge either).
OMG, Hondas use to be cute!
'Run away" is also what I would do. The seller clearly either does not want to sell it, or is someone you will regret doing business with. Imagine your attempt to return the guitar?!

Absolutely the right thing to do (run, Forest, run). This all reminds me of a Guild seller on the Bay and Verb that I'm sure we all know (will remain unnamed) that has never once directly answered one of my questions regarding saddle height, neck angle, and fret wear. He always gives me assurances that everything is fine (e.g. the saddle has enough height "for years"). In a moment of weakness I once made an offer on one of his guitars and I regretted it the minute I hit confirm. Luckily he didn't accept my offer.
Unbelievable! There's no such F20 or 'Mark's Guitar' shop I can find. For chrissake, somebody share a link to that listing before I have a seizure!
The part of my brain that I can usually ignore is telling me: "Let's get EVERYBODY on LTG to ask him for string height measurements! And neck-angle photos, too!!!"
Now - having spoken to you.. I wouldn't sell it to ya..
Haha, not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I had an email from the guy this morning, totally out of the blue, it's been two days since I told him I wouldn't buy anything from him if I was rolling in $$$...
Lol ;-)
