It's probably YouTube/Google knowing you're into guitars, and the Maker trend being heavily marketed on YouTube.
There's also that video of Adam Savage making an overengineered-yet-poorly-thought-out guitar case for Eric Idle. It actually makes you wonder, since these Maker types are generally extremely confident in their skills but doing anything instrument related exposes how little they know and how much they just wing it.

Sometimes, you're going for a "relic" look, but wind up with something that looks like bleu cheese / a corpse fished out of the East River...

I think that guitar was used to cut “Glenn Tipton: Jazz Odyssey” back in ‘83.Critical Distance wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 8:23 pmMore Country Bogan than Gent or to paraphrase the bard - a rose by any other name etc. etc.

Maybe they used this as a tool?

What the fuck, also pretty sure it's not an AVRI as the stock bridge in the photos is a TOM. Classic Player maybe?

Only tangentially related, but the last time Count to 5s dropped there were listings on Reverb popping up ON THE SAME DAY with prices like $400 and $500. I imagine those guys bought them purely to flip and they'll just leave that listing up until it the supply drops and people become desperate for them again, it's just funny when you could go and just get a new one for the $250 they're worth right there and then.Mechanical Birds wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:17 amThere’s a reverb seller called “The Bonfires Vintage” that posts everything they have for like, significantly more than the most expensive example of said thing. Every once in a while they’ll get a Sunn head and strip off the badge and knobs and try to sell the knobs for like $35 each and the badge for $75 or something insane and then post the amp for like, $1,500 or something. Just the most offensive shit, like the easier it became to find disirable stuff like this the more ridiculous assholes got with pricing, when you’d think it would drive things down, right? If I wanted a Jazzmaster in like 1996 yeah I could probably get one for less than a grand, but that also meant having to find one first which at the time meant guitar magazine ads from shops all over the country and being a hawk at pawn shops wherever you went or whatever. Now I can pretty much find any part/complete guitar from mostly any year of production in about 10 seconds. Either I’m a horrible idiot in economics or this is all super fucking dumb and wrong.
Would again like to just say how much I really fucking hate that reverb shop too. Whoever runs it is a horrible person.
I imagine with eBay and Reverb, since it's free to put up a listing then it's much more convenient to just leave the price at something obscenely high while you leave your gear in the attic for 20 years or so rather than actually keep up with what the prices are and judging when to sell.

I'm not sure if it counts cause they're Squiers (let alone vintage), but this guy seems to have a hobby of chopping up Squier JMs and selling them.

You'll notice he uses the actual same bodies for 2-3 "guitars" at a time so I guess he just has all these parts lying around and will whip it up for you on demand. It's basically a custom guitar
