Ian Elson Guitars - AVOID!!

prlgmnr · July 2021

I mean, he's got "pig" and "shit" in there, and "just to look at" so that's well on the way to an accurate review.

There’s no name on it…… but the excessive use of full stops and exclamation marks gave him away!!!!

So…. How does it play…???

Hahahaah… that’s genuinely made me chuckle!.

no poopot didn’t get one

did get to finish putting together a nice blue paisley double cut tho Scott

Yes I saw it was all assembled and sounding lovely. We like it?

Hang on @poopot ; he did leave some things out for me to finish off, apparently he had proper work to do, I was busy with the other stuff first

Do you think we could get Mr Elson to do a ‘from the workshop’ thread?

That’s a whole new sub-forum: ‘making and bodging’.

I prefer the 'baking and dogging' section.

Ah, good 'ol Mary Berry. A proper game bird, up for absolutely anything.

Only if it is hand built by somebody else.

Look, one of those rare listings where the seller would accept a ‘Best offer’ lower than the starting bid!

OK, own up, how many others have added it to their watch list? Just out of interest of course!

At least he's learnt to put a string tree and use a Fender style nut on his guitars. Those neck screws look so close together though I can't imagine the neck being stable

I misread the ad, I thought that was what he was offering for someone to take it off his hands.

Only because eBay doesn't have a 'Point And Laugh' list

Looks like a les paul style nut to me, just noticed the fret chamfer, low/high strings are unplayable.

"If I get a bid of over £350 I’ll include a semi-rigid case in the deal". They should also include details of the buyer's local mental asylum if they pay over £350 for it!

Id agree strings a little "proud" and chamfered nut top, Fender is "flat" and deeper slots surely ?

Look closely at the headstock picture. Is that gaffa tape covering the end of the fretboard?

No, it's tool marks that he didn't bother to sand away and finish properly - you can see that the scratches extend onto the headstock itself.

Howdy, Stranger!
