    Orville by Gibson: Replacement Bridge, Tail and Tuners

    I ordered one from eBay that was neither curved nor flexible. I do not think Epiphone replacement parts have the holes drilled the same distance apart either.

    Orville by Gibson: Replacement Bridge, Tail and Tuners

    Now I need your assisstance again! My Orville by Gibson needs a replacement jack plate. I think the StewMac product should work as well. Before I ordered I thought I would ask if anyone has replaced there jack plate with any success.

    Thanks for the info. For those that may be looking to do the same, I ended up purchasing these parts from StewMac and they all worked: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/Guitar,_solid_peghead_tuners/Gotoh_Tuners/Gotoh_Vintage_Keystone-style_Tuners.html...

    Orville by Gibson: Replacement Bridge, Tail and Tuners

    Hello. I have tried to search the forum already but I either recieve too many hits or none on topic. If there is a thread already in existence discussing the options and model numbers please direct me to the link. The time has come to replace the tuners, saddles and/or bridges on my live...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    Just because I have not posted 7000 times does not mean that I do not frequent this board. If I am not mistaken, I have "been here" longer than you. :wink:

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    He may hold all the cards. True. But he is also holding the guitar he would have already sold. :lol: But i forget that he would rather burn it than sell it to me. :roll: I have yet to hear any particular reason why the same transaction offered on eBay to a US buyer should not be extended to...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    He had no idea that the value would be over $650. That was stated several times. At this point, we had not even moved on to the fact that i wanteed the LS80. He thought i was interested in the $500 Greco he is also selling. So the insurance thing was not an issue.

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    I am still not sure where he was going with much of what he said. If he is perfectly willing to sell his wares on eBay and incur the PayPal and listings fees for American clients I fail to see the difference for verified international clients. The entire fee debate does not have any relevance...

    That is actually not against any policy I can find. Tell you what. For your clairification, I will report you for your breaches and you report me for mine. Fair enough?

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    First off, I knew you were willing to ship out of your country - you made that clear on this forum. That does not hold water. Second, you did not know which guitar I was shipping - so the insurance excuse for $1600 is bogus. Clairification? Why not explain your hesitations as opposed to asking...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    Being called a douchebag has its effects. That said, I am not fussing - I am responding to your points. Which I have yet to see any real relevance here. The bottom line is that I did not ask for a lower price. I just wanted to buy his guitar through eBay. No fees were at issue. Why should fees...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    So its OK to contravene the rules and deal outside of eBay and require a payment against the eBay policy but it is not OK to ask the buyer to help out with PayPal fees if the buyer requests using the service. In this case, the auction is open to US sellers and PayPal is available - so the fees...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    I can see this will become a popularity contest. Fees should simply be calculated in your item's price. Why would you not consider that when listing? Simply ask the buyer to split or pay for PayPal fees. Why in this case would the fees be different for myself or a buyer from the US? There...

    My new '79 Les Paul Reborn LS80

    Integrity question? Really. I was thinking more along the lines of being a prudent buyer. For instance, attached to all eBay emails: Marketplace Safety Tip Keep your money safe - never pay for items with cash or instant money transfer services, such as Western Union or MoneyGram. In the...

    All true. I stand by my analysis. The position you take and the language you use is sub par.

    I will amend my statement to him being an extremely rude person. I think that better suits the man.

    Wow. Ryan is not a very classy seller outside of this forum.

    Out doors is fine but a flash is a terrible idea.

    New Guitar Day! '94 ObG Custom Reissue!

    Both inlays are very similar but on is slightly lower thatn the other. The '93 is lower and almost touches the truss cover. I believe they were both made in the same factory.
