Ahh, fuck it, these 481 slant frets are 10 a penny, let's screw a mustang vibrato on..

This has been there for ages and the price has not moved at all. No clue if it's ambitiously priced, but certainly nobody wants it for that much.

Is... is the whole Mustang vibrato on the slant as well? It doesn't look perpendicular to the strings to me.

Ooh, the only cool Rickenbacker ever (apart from the Lemmy bass, obviously) has just become a whole lot cooler!

I'd really like to try one of those Ibanez/whatever Japanese copies, slanted frets or not, but I've never come across one.

Oh, Wunjos is always mental with their prices. I bought a Mosrite from them and I haggled pretty well but likely still overpaid.

I prefer the other places on that road really. Although they're all a bit snooty sometimes

Being a 480 player myself, I've been GASing for that 481 since forever but that price is just stipid.

I put a Duesenberg vibrato on mine

hmm...let's see what Sal says....this is off topic and in the vintage section, double whammy! :D
Apologies, it just really hurt my eyes and soul. Seemed the most appropriate place for it…


Why not just stick it in the Bad Things thread?

Those Yamahas already have one stumpy horn from the factory - this one is now stumpy all the way around.

Starting price is 88000 yen - that is almost $600 US. Stupid.
