When trying to sell my Yamaha THR10 on Gumtree some guy messaged me asking if I would accept trades. I really wanted cash, but stupidly asked him what he had in mind. His reply? A bloody oboe.
It being a £300 guitar .

I'm English
I lived in Belfast
I worked in Dublin, driving each way every day
Advertised a guitar on adverts.ie
Got a trade offer
Cash and an AK-47 replica
As much as I fancied owning an AK-47 replica (I actually still kinda do), driving over the border with a an AK-47 in the boot would not have ended well.
In the grand scheme I would still say it wouldn’t sway me either way... for context we are talking about a £4K guitar
Shit! I think I might have missed a trick there.
"Does it come with the amplifier in the background?" Does it say it does in the advert, dickweed?
"Would you consider a trade for (insert name of unheard of 'boutique' pedal that nobody has heard of that has been for sale on ebay for six months and nobody wants)?" You can throw it in plus the full price in cash if you don't want it.
Or the guy who bought the guitar after playing it (badly) in my living room telling me it was "wonderful" and then three months later wanted a refund because it was "unplayable". He was astonished when I told him to go forth on that one. He claimed that under distance selling rules he could return it... er, chap... firstly, I'm not a business so that doesn't cover it, secondly you tried before you bought, thirdly it was a private sale through a website (not even eBay) and lastly... you've had it three fucking months.
Gerry Adams does a powerful version of Sweet child o'mine
Nothing compared to Ian Paisley's cover of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bright Eyes' though.
So the nut fetish is fairly simple and I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a very common fetish. Considering the various sizes of nut that a guitar may come with, over the years I’ve come to understand what my preferences are. This is also true of the neck shape and depth which is also a question I’ll often ask. These specs give me a strong idea of whether I’ll get on with the guitar or not before I go see it in person.
