I'd buy both if They ship to the USA.

Wow!

[Studio Custom]

I returned that white one after a month long PayPal dispute.

It was used as a lefty and has three holes drilled in it as well as a rear cavity. It is refinished.

The seller repeatedly lied to me and Paypal. I had to bring it to service center to have them write a letter about the alterations and eat the $125 return shipping cost.

I see that he now confesses that it was altered.

eBay sucks.

@ Studio Custom

Thanks for your post about the mods/refin.

@ All So, what would be a fair price for the refin/modified one?

[bambino68]

Studio custom thanks for the info

Studio custom.... thanks for the info

[Montelovesco]

Hi Studio Custom,

looks like I owe you double:

First for the info about the SS1 and second for not drawing back after the first ebay auction. I was close to you and offered the seller to take the guitar in case the winner would draw back...

[Montelovesco]

I'd buy both if They ship to the USA.

You need assistance? I'd be glad to help out...

[Rodan]

That SS2 reminds me of what I've always loved in that design...

[AndyW]

For the SS 1 Custom:This guy still don't admits that it was altered to left hand or that it has an respray.He even writes,his is sooo special,prestine condition.No broken or repaired headstock,no nicks since he played it so seldom.What a rotten liar.

[Studio Custom]

He used his old ad copy, removed the 100% original line and relisted it. Later he added line about refinish which I translated using Google and us the first photo I posted.

I used this admission this morning to FINALLY get reimbursed by Paypal.

[MCChris]

What a rotten liar.

eBay sucks.

[proxmax]

seller tells about all alternations now.

[Montelovesco]

Just in case....: The white SS1 custom Studio Custom bought on eBay Germany and sent back because of the lacks he describes above sold again today - for 446,- € Euro (587 $), wich is less than half of the price the first auction ended with...

[Studio Custom]

My appraisal was for $450.

My appraisal was for $450.

Did you manage to get your $125 return shipping back too? I'd push for that if not...

[Studio Custom]

Nope I lost the return shipping.

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Nope I lost the return shipping.

Well that really gets my pip man! Surely you can claim that back eh?

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Cos man, that's just fa-huck-ing ba-hullsh-it!

Surely you should get that back to? I had this same fkn problem with douchebags on ebay UK. GRRRR

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

This, for me, is where ebay are the wa-nkest of wa-nk. Surely the buyer is NOT a t fault here & should be covered. In my case, I was told I wouldn't get my postage back - WELL = You should have seen my reply to ebay (it wouldn't be allowed to type what I wrote on here lol) = I got a full refund + return postage + I got to keep the broken item (which I sold broken for more thatn I paid for it initially).

Do NOT be taken for a fool by these p.iss-ants man - demand ebay/paypal fkn do something about your outlay...

[Studio Custom]

My friend in Germany did the bid for me since I could not. He left positive feedback as soon as the guitar arrived without checking with me on its condition. He is sorry he got involved and I not agitating the situation further over $125 at Christmas.

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Ahhh, you might be b.uggered if that is the case. That really sucks man. I doubt you could pass this cost onto the (b*stard) seller...
