Well, you could. Though some fairly unflattering things have been said about him here (mostly by me ) so I'm not sure it would help the good temper of your negotiations...


Naturally!

Again: how cool is this Forum?

Cheers - C

Agreed

Beautiful strat Alain

Yeah agree 100% Ceri, one thing though, now and again (and this surely must cross the minds of all forum users at some point), thing is I've been looking at my strat lately and I don't think she's mine even though I care deeply about her, the word's " you're Alain's" just torment me night and day, please Alain I and I'm sure there are others need to know, is she mine.

I, Alain, hereby confirm that ripitup555's beloved Strat duly belongs to him.

So one more thing:
DON'T
Don't open the website which will be online this week, the content of which might being hazardous to your mental health.
I repeat:
DON'T

Well, at least as of today, the guy's a little more honest about the Harley Strat, where the pick guard is the only original part of the Harley Strat.

He's also adjusted his description of the Aloha, which is still for sale, to be a little more honest, though he says nothing of the pickups, knobs and switch. (He admits the neck is not original, at least.)

I think it's thanks to this group, that this seller has had to be a little more honest about his aluminum part-o-casters, though I find the EXTRA LARGE TEXT in an extra wide page a little obnoxious.

Thanks, everyone, for your advice!

I'll keep looking.

Good golly Alain, that #1 is absolutely stunning. Thanks for posting the photos.

Lurker, here's a real one. http://www.coolguitarz.com/ Scroll down a little.
Disclaimer: This is not mine, but it does belong to a buddy. I am posting his website for your reference and for comparison to the e-bay post you listed at the top.

The neck pics are a little grainy but not to be deceptive, just a bad photo. I didn't really dig it the first time I saw it (never saw green fretboard markers before) but it has grown on me. The figure on the neck is very pretty. Way out of my $ reach but a super cool piece indeed.
