Did you doubt that?villager said:intersting.. so we know they made a DS200R in swampash in 1994
villager said:yes as the catalogue didn't say it so i had another look to check if it was ash or alder to be certain..
I dont remember, the DS250 pro i have used to have a rosewood board on it but that was not original, it now has the correct neck and i have a spare, which is always good !!

A spare?
While I'm on the subject, here is the auction I was refering to:
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h166116007
Don't you think the pattern really looks the same?
villager said:yes its that one
I swopped the necks, to be what i believe is the correct format, the scratch plate holes in the body of the 200 are drilled for a 62 though, which is why it now has the correct rose wood neck, and the 250 pro which has the 57 plate and holes now has the correct maple neck, or so i believe!!
do you think the 200 should have a maple neck then? if so why are the body holes drilled for a 11 hole scratchplate see thats what confused me!!
do you think it may not be a 200 then? maybe a 185? I am not sure now!!
the ishibashi one is ash too, and rosewood neck..
The spare neck is a maple one I originally bought for the DS-250 pro but it was not a 200 or 250 neck as the laquer was shiny all over, not matt like on the ends of these 2 that are now on there, so now thats a spare one currently on a JV body !!

Villager, I am sorry, but a neck swap has little to do with an error on your descriptions.villager said:of course, if there is an error on my descriptions i correct it immediatly
as the necks were only swopped over last week, it takes a little time to make the changes on the website..
villager said:you misunderstand.. the neck swop is nothing to do with the matter..
I have never ''pretended'' its all original, let me explain in simple terms,
when the guitar was first listed, before the neck swop, i copied and pasted the description from the duncan ds-185, which included the phrase all original, when i realised this and saw that the knobs and pickguard were changed then I corrected the description, as it was a mistake, there was no ''pretence'' about it.. when i investigated further i saw the anomoly with the pickguard holes making me think it should have a rosewood neck, thats whan i then did the neck swop..
I try to make all the descriptions of all of my guitars as accurate and informative as possible.. but sometimes when i am in a hurry, i make an error, if i do i usually spot it pretty quickly and correct it..
I dont really think you have the right to accuse me of pretence, as that is the same as accusing me of deliberately misrepresenting things, which is not something I do..
IF any guitar I sell is incorrectly described in any way I offer a full refund, and i pay the shipping, that is my policy. NO other seller offers anything like this.. and I do because I have complete confidence in everything I sell and I personally guarantee every guitar I sell..
I may swop the necks over again, I may not...
I may adjust the prices, I may not...
I have not decided as yet.
thanks for the advice, but what I choose to do and how much I charge are my business and you are totally correct in that it is not your concern..
