^^Duff beyond comprehension--why someone would take the time to scratch build a (half decent looking) neck for a guitar only to sloppily zip it on with drywall screws, stick what looks like an abortive afterthought of a neck pickup on with one screw and no means of adjustment, and lazily slap some stain on a poorly prepped body defies logic. Even the exposed pickup route looks jagged and unfinished.

Delusional asking price too, which only accelerates the vulgarity of the whole thing to terminal velocity.

Stripped drywall screws...



Good luck backing that out.

Those are indeed drywall screws, but they're square drive heads--they (thankfully for whoever buys this thing) aren't stripped

Fun thread by the way, I too enjoy perusing the DIY/handmade listings on Reverb from time to time--nice to have the work done for me!

I know we've given the Shaguar a lot of shit, but I was just zooming into the full resolution photos at the bridge pickup route...



IT'S MISSING A SCREW ON THE BRIDGE PICKUP!

Robertson head screw, Canadian creation. After seeing the blown up pic it’s probably a spray painted wood screw. Been doing construction for 20 years in Canada & US & have yet to see a Robertson head drywall screw.

I stand corrected!

I dig this, reminds me of Swope a little bit.

Oh this is so fun!

Make: Fret Wire Kit
Model: N/A
Price: $70 + $30 Shipping
Body Material: Unknown
Scale: Unknown
Tremolo: Strat-ish
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: Pretty close
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: Okay. So this is wonderful. This is an unfinished, non-functional KIT GUITAR! After just a few days it has been marked down from $80 to $70. The pictures don't show it strung, and the description has two great reasons for that:

The neck alignment is off and the high E is right at the edge of the fretboard.
ALSO, the seller is missing the screws and springs for two of the saddles!

^I once turned down a brand new, unbuilt one of those for free because I couldn't think of a single way to make it look good.

I think it has those weird 40:1 tuners! Always wanted to try those... and then go back to the tuners I’m used to

We've got another doozy of a handmade offset today.
