Don't you hate it when the shipping costs make a deal not worth it?

yes because the high shipping is whats wrong here.

Well it is coming from New Jersey. You've gotta make it worth it for the shipping company to go to New Jersey to get it.

It’s weird as fuck all. But I admire the guy for developing and machining his own hardware. That’s some serious dedication.

Yeah - that's impressive. Not sure it's a good strategy to try and recover all of your tooling costs with your first sale though.

I am glad he tried something new but the end result is bad and he should feel bad.

Agreed. Is this luthier famous like Gil Yaron? Because I can’t see some random guy selling guitars for $15,000.

Seriously, why wouldn't you just say, "$14,775, free shipping!"?

Probably so buyers assume it will be well packed and insured. Nobody wants their $14,500 guitar shipped in a gig bag stuffed into a cardboard box with newspaper.

Oh he must have edited it. This morning the guitar AND shipping were each listed at $14,500

 

[altoidman]

Every time someone dogs Jersey like that I think of this scene.

I like the bottle opener headstock

Can you edit a listing 5 days after it sold? I don't think so.
