Comments
It's your guitar and you can price it however you see fit: adjusting the guitar for the reasons you outline seems totally fair enough with me, but getting snippy about someone pointing out the changed price (which had at that point not been explained) is a bit off. YMMV.
As it happens I've looked at the guitar enviously on lots of occasions. It's just too pretty to be the punky thrash machine I'd love (I lack the skill to play much more than punky thrash, see).

Keep the faith Mike - there are still some of us wot are gooduns. I'm one of the very best, as it 'appens.
So if you re-fin that pretty LPJ into a more skanky punk machine, I'll take it off your hands (at a discount, obviously as re-fins de-value guitars as all good bedroom dealers know).

I also have no clue who the other chap who commented on this is. So I'm definitely not associated with him. I've bought and sold many a guitar in my time. This is not the way to do it.
As I'm sure folk know by now, generally I'll price things low if I'm selling a guitar on the forum. No fees and a platform built on trust help with that. Price things low and sell them quickly, but If things are still hanging about and it's obvious they're not even going to sell at that low price, I have no choice but to try Reverb. Can't very well have them on Reverb with google searching bringing up results on the forum X amount of hundred pounds cheaper, or they'd never sell. Same if a 80% off ebay fee offer comes up there. To be honest, I'm surprised I'm even explaining this to you, as you do exactly the same yourself, deleting (for example) the blue japanese strat from different platforms to aid you in selling in others. Why is it okay for you, but wrong for others?
I'd been meaning to comment on the guitar itself, which I think may be one that I'd considered buying as parts from GSP when it was originally sold - my comment is just that I'm glad Mike bought it and not me, as I reckon you've done a great job on it, and suspect it turned out way better than if I'd taken the project on!
Nice work, looks awesome and very tempting, but no money in the kitty at the moment.
