I like to keep an eye out for any guitars that are cool and need some repairs to become workable again. The hope is that it's a model I like it that has potential and can be had at a reasonable price even though it may need to be repaired a bit, refinished and/or need hardware and electronics. I can do all of those things and I like putting my own stuff together to make something unique.
I'm not talking about brand new guitars that come "pre-gutted" from Stratosphere. Typically it's vintage Gibson husks with some cracks, missing binding, maybe need a neck repair.
I absolutely cannot believe the prices on some of these things lately. People want hundreds of dollars for something that's been absolutely shredded to death but it's old and says Gibson so it has to be worth something right? It's bonkers.
Look at this pile of splinters for only $600!
Or this dead on arrival hot pile of turds for $1100
A no brainer here at $2500 for completely disassembled Gibson acoustic parts
$1300 for a Gibson body with a completely random neck slapped on?
And the undefeated champion of any listing EVER........just look at it
