OMG! It's a good thing "master craftsman Mark Barter owner of "Sunburst Guitars", relic-ed this, otherwise this could have turned out to look a piece of crap! :shock: Just when I've gotten past the "belt-burns" on the body, and over the shock of the "dremel dips" on the fretboard, I see the back-side of the neck, which has been obviously, but gently held in the loving hands of the "master" as it was rubbed back and forth on a belt sander. It's also interesting how the relic-ing doesn't blend onto the body, but disappears directly into the neck joint.

That must be one helluva pair of rose-colored glasses the buyer and master craftsmen are wearing... or, they're having a hard time seeing through the smoke coming from the funny cigarettes they're lighting.... otherwise, why would the buyer include the zoom function that allows sane people to see close-up the damage that's been perpetrated on a couple of decent body parts that were once just minding there own business in the seller's inventory?

Unbelievable..... :roll:

Anyone feel like buying a bass guitar built by master craftsman Mark Barter of Sunburst Guitars? Thought so.... :lol:

I see many of those types of awful jobs before, but that was one I had to save the pics for another time.
I did put it on my watchlist just to see who is stupid enough to buy something like that, and stupid enough to pay more than 50.00 and then spend 500 more refinishing/replacing all the damage!!!!

you know, I do know people who think that type of "damage" is the coolest shit around, and would tell me "IF you don't like it, don't buy it because I will" -- I don't share that enthusiasm !!!





yet another perfectly good unit ruined by someone :evil:

I do like a properly reliced instrument, but that's a complete clusterfuck hack job.

Obviously reliced for the country bassist that plays a lot of one-five's
and then shreds way up past the 14th fret.

this is the umpteenth time the seller has tried to unload the bass on an unsuspecting fool of a buyer.

Word on the street is that it was used in 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' against the band of Demons.
