    Fancy paying £7k for a guitar owned by some one who exposed himself to a child?
    What?

    I've never heard this.
    @fretmeister Not a savoury story at all, which is why the septic Septic leaves the name unmentioned in his ad:

    :(
    As this thread is about guitars, imagine if you'd bought a Catanese sig? There were a few from PRS and Washburn, even a short run of pricy ones from each manufacturer.

    The ex-PhillyQ/Sneap V is lovely, though!

    I was actually very keen on buying the Nick Catanese PRS SE when it first came out, not because I was a fan but I liked the spec - ebony board, EMGs.  It was only the big "ET" (Evil Twin) graphic on the body which put me off.  Glad I didn't buy one!

    Incidentally, going back to the Edwards V, the Reverb listing says:

    "This guitar has been customized to Andy's specs with locking tuners, upgraded bridge and Fishman pickups."

    Which isn't right, it already had the Sperzels and TonePros bridge.  The only mods I can see are the Fishman pickups (and electronics), plus the Dunlop strap buttons.

    Could be worse.  You could have bought a Rolf Harris signature editon Stylophone

    Why would you want an Andy Sneap guitar that wasn't a Fernandes Shark Fin?

    This guy's gear is so ludicrously over-priced and is described with such laughably gushing hyperbole, I'm frankly astounded he sells anything.  Previous threads suggest he isn't someone you'd want to pass on the street, let alone do business with.

    Andy Sneap?  Never heard of him.

    That's coz he's better known as Philly_Q.
    :D He really isn't!  

    There is a very slight general resemblance.  I've got a bit more hair, he's got a better beard and he's probably about a foot taller.

    And I don't own any leather clothing.

    I bet that V has the worst-ever case of buckle-rash.
    That's the least of his worries; check out scary granddad behind him preparing to give him a good fist f***ing.

    Ah, I see you've changed it to wasn't!  Was that back in Sabbat days?

    Actually I'd have considered buying this Edwards back, if it was a lot cheaper.  It's a decent guitar, really nice neck.

    I never properly listened to Sabbat, I should really.  I was listening to a couple of Skyclad albums last week though, by coincidence.

    First one is easily a top ten greatest thrash album. Second is great too. Third? No one has it

    I remember the Fernandes Sharkfin. Also didn’t he work at Carlsboro’s in Hockley back in 1991? He had more hair then.

    Never looked on his website before. First thing I see is an 89 strat plus in Daphne blue. He says he’s not sure if it’s original. Daphne blue was never a plus colour so it is definitely not original and he wants £1500 for it.

    So, to clarify, is the issue a question as to how much value being celebrity owned adds to an instrument?
