NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Twas an impressively elaborate scam. Will let you know the details after do the police thing. That's why we only gamble what we can afford to lose!

We'll see. I might end up with a worthless or broken instrument. But either way I'll let you guys know!

Not on finance, have seen the receipt indicating it was paid upfront.

Yep, the ex-missus is selling it! The purchase is in her name, though.

I'm skeptical...but all the power to you. https://i.imgur.com/XAyh1il.jpg So am I, but a receipt from the Rockshop including the correct serial number, matching photo ID, matching bank account details, plausible backstory (present for partner but they just broke up, needs money for uni).... I'll ro...

Most of the higher-end Les Pauls I have seen use relatively clean-looking maple, even if it isn't highly figured. The vertical line running near the volume pots seemed unusual.

Yeah, hence my worry about it being too good to be true. If it looks original, comes with a receipt, and hasn't been stolen, that's good enough for me.

Thanks, everyone. This might be the best $1500 I ever spent. Going to check it's not stolen first, obviously!

I'm waiting on a receipt, but if it shows a purchase from the Rockshop at the right time with the right serial number, I'd struggle to say no...

Hi all, I've been offered what is claimed to be a 2014 Les Paul Custom 1960 reissue for a too-good-be-true price. It all looks pretty legit to me, aside from perhaps the quality of maple used for the top. I don't know if Gibson would let this slide, even as a plain top. Thoughts? http://imgur.com/fl...

That jack orientation is pure genius.

I happily gigged bass --> Tech21 British --> SS power amp --> speaker cab for years. Super reliable, super portable, super loud.

I've never found a solid state amp that gives me the warm fuzzies though. Practical, but not necessarily toneful.

Looks like most of them have moved already. I wonder why the massive discounts? Other outlets internationally are selling for closer to what the Rockshop's RRPs were. No interest in NZ's bread-and-butter market maybe. Due to Kiwi's reluctance to try anything other than established brands, or do you...

My Marshall 1974X is the amp I play all the time and sometimes with an Xotic EP Booster on the floor. Put an old Celestion T1088 alnico in it recently which gives a lovely early breakup at 2 on the dial..........can't be beat!! Funnily enough, that is my second favourite amp. I had the 2061x for a ...

I remember you effectively tearing it from my hands. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. Every strat I have touched since has been a disappointment.


Hope all is well!
