HURLEY FOR SALE

No, I didn't want to put this into the "For Sale" or the "Others" sections, because I'm not touting it.

Is anyone familiar with the story of these Bill Hurley 325 "replicas"? Pretty awful, and it looks like he only made a few.

"Aged" looks like an excuse for "painted with Q-Tips"...

That thing has been on their site for months and hasn't done anything. Even with not-so-clear photos it didn't look like that great of a model.

I for one have never had a desire to own a Hurley...they're overpriced, noisy, and they vibrate so much they routinely drop parts on the road...

Oh...I think I've just realized my mistake here.

That thing looks dreadful.

Yikes! Besides the streaky paint (no doubt authentic English coach paint applied with an authentic dustman's straw broom), what's the deal with the heel? Yikes!

Hmmm... what's that? Or is it just the photo?

Seems to me that 'hurl' is the operative syllable here.......

Now if you want to talk about Liz Hurley then that's different!!

I do want to talk about Liz Hurley, but getting back to the guitar...I wonder if he makes a matching one in plywoodglo?

As a guitar builder, I can say with all honesty that without even seeing this guitar in real life
that it must be a piece of "Caca" $399.00 won't even pay for the wood and parts it takes to construct an instrument let alone do the finish in a reasonable way. What a disgrace to the real thing since it is being hyped as a J.L. Ed Sullivan model 325 with a Rickenbacker T.R. cover. And the guy built how many of these?
