Just googled Frankie Crisp. Quite a, um, coincidence? :|

Getting back to the guitar, it appears that the neck PU has been moved back from the end of the fretboard about 3/8" and is possibly covering a route. That's why the upper 'guard doesn't fit correctly around the PU.

I'd just like to apologize for my last post, It was rash and insensitive. Sorry.

For those left wondering how or if this situation is going to get resolved. I am waiting to hear from Frankie.

I missed all of the "rash and insensitive" stuff, I can see from previous posts where portions of the thread might have gone south. . . I don't need to know, especially after all of Meddy's hard work with the editing.

scooted neck p/up or no (3/8 of an inch? pretty minor), <$100 for a 60s 330 is killer!

What happened to the photos on p. 1 though?
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

Yes, I was wondering about that, too. I remember the photo of the headstock -- I don't think I've ever seen weatherchecking that severe on any Rick headstock.

In the belief that it's not in violation of any rules, I'll post up the one photo I downloaded (so I could zoom in on it) of the entire guitar showing the gap between the neck PU and fretboard.

No idea. I did not remove them and there's nothing in the event logs to show that another moderator did either. Very strange indeed.

:?: Wild guess. But it would explain the interest in the GH reference, the good but not-quite-fluent English, and the new-to-Rick but not-new-to-gear aspect.


...

Or we have:

with far less clues but far more mystery! :lol:


Strange indeed.

Have to concur there, jwilli. Too good to be true? It probably is!
