And for those of you who are planning on buying this beauty, please note that he recently broke the headstock off while trying to "get the action lower". He took another piece of Zebra wood, which was too small...but he fixed it with wood glue and three screws. It's not "quite" perfect yet...he still has to file a few frets down. The world holds its' collective breath.

Eeeh... maybe if he sells it for $.10...

Ick.... Some people just don't get it.... he obviously has more time than common sense.

I'd really like to see MVP attempt to build a Rick copy. That would probably be good for a laugh, so long as no real Ricks or Rick parts were hurt, damaged, or wasted in the process.

Yeah... he should make it from plasticine... to save the trees...

He would use all Rick hardware, which would be wasted.
Besides, "any dickhead can design a...(fill in your preferred brand here)", to paraphrase his own elegant wording.

Great page Jeff... i think i already know this "toilet bass" by heart...

Paul: MVP might think that anyone can copy a manufacturer's design, but after seeing his work, I certain he couldn't do a good job of it. He is far too sloppy to build a decent copy.

Well, Randy, he'll just build an "improved" copy...

Seems mvpgretsch may have moved to China!
Interesting headstock design, no?

I don't know if he's moved to China, Howard, but that guitar pretty much tells you what he can go and do with his handiwork.
