Muhammed fag!

__________________

hahaha, apparently dead doenst like it either! i didnt buy it out of an overwhelming love of muhammed, but his endorsement helps. if he can play that well on it, id imagine its good for leads. i bought it for a few reasons. its unique, we all know i like weird shapes ( i have a parker) , its got an 81, its got a carbon based neck which i love...

__________________

cool.

Had that much money lying around? Lucky bitch . What kinda fretboard is that ebony? It looks smooth as hell.

Its a carbon fretboard, like those on Parkers.

__________________

Should have told the seller to put insurance on it because the postal workers just throw shit around, they dont care what it is. The carrier threw my Shecter on the porch & when i opened the box the neck was shifted & i had to get it fixed, but i was lucky because i was a bolt on neck, but this is neck thru body so if its cracked your fucked, insurance from sellers insures if the postal workers fuck it up you get your money back. Ill never buy another guitar from ebay without insurance. Just a thought dude (especially on a thousand dollar guitar), try to contact the seller to put postal insurance on it.

looks nice for one of those "pointy" guitars. carbon fiber fretboards and active pu's are a dangerous combo.

yea i got turned on to this guitar at the necrophagist forums, one of the kids explained what woods it used and what not, sounded reallll nice. If i ever come out to whereever the fuck you are (new york) you better let me check it haha. Take more pics when you get it.

No problem

ow, is that the axe muhammed plays on


whoops, i always thought he played a bc rich .... sumtin (dotn remember model name), cuz they have a shape that KINDA looks like it.. no wonder, i always thought it was weird that muhammed would play a bc

__________________

Pfff why the fuck not!? I can't WAIT to play it

__________________

euhm just wondering, take a verry good look at the pic from the ebay site, and look at the low e string, it looks like its not in the proper place (loos close at the bridge, ull see)

maybe its just out of its socket (or wateverthefuck its called)

__________________

yeah dont worry, i PMed him and he said he was cleaning the fretboard and had loosened the strings up and hap hazardly tightened them. was the first thing i noticed, too. well, other than the BIN price

I happened to email my guitar teacher about the guitar heres what he said, pretty good info in here:

"Cool Guitar.

Patrice Viger ran a promotion in the late 90s, trying to re-establish
himself in the US market. I had a chance to buy a custom Surfretter
(amazing fretless guitar) from him at his cost but didn't take him up
on it. Big mistake.

Vigers are one of the best brands around, but nobody seems to know
about them. They win awards for innovation from American magazines
every few years, but then they disappear from our market. Alot of
European player swear by them.

They play awesome, and the fit and finish is top-notch. The neck is
called a 90/10 (or maybe a 10/90, I don't remember which.) 10 percent
of the total mass is carbon, with the remaining 90 being wood. This
make for a super stable neck that still has great wooden tone. Viger
has some cool electronics ideas as well, like a system that stores 17
volume, tone, and pickup setting combinations for instant recall.

It looks like the model your friend has is a factory custom. The
redesign (~'99 and later) came with dual Dimarzios stock, and I think
the originals had dual Ultratones.

I still get emails from Viger once in a blue moon, but I don't think
that there is a US distributor anymore. Also, I don't know if Patrice
is still involved with the company, as I haven't heard from him
lately."

Transient(6:28:58 AM): and i need some advice
Transient(6:29:09 AM): ive been in contact with the guy who sold me vigier
Transient(6:29:17 AM): telling him when my money order hsipped, he told me when the guitar shipped
Transient (6:29:20 AM): and i got an email yesterday to call him
h4x (6:29:41 AM): yea
Transient (6:29:52 AM): so i did , and he said that he bought the guitar from an endorsed player a year ago, and he was just contacted by the endorsed player who said he needs the guitar back
Transient (6:30:08 AM): so the guy who sold me the vigier is gonna ask for the guitar back if he cant convince the endorsed player otherwise
Transient(6:30:13 AM): so what do i do

__________________

If he shipped it to you keep it & tell him to fuck off its his problem.

What a fucking dilemna.I spose in the long run it would probally be beter to do the right thing and help him out,if he really needs it back.But then again im not in your position so its hard to tell.

I'd keep the damn thing, he should have thought about it before putting it up on Ebay.

let me see if i understand this... he shipped it to you already? is he trying to re route it back to himself, or is he asking you to ship it back to him when you get it?

please tell me you didnt use a money order....

i call bullshit...
why?
if this "player" is endorsed he should have no problem getting a NEW guitar. besides, it's technically your guitar now and you're not obligated to sell it back to him...

i really would say this may be a fake, it's possible you're never going to see the guitar, and even less likely to see your money back either...
money orders are always pretty common in scams... and bullshit stories like that are common too(never heard that one before though).

the only thing that is somewhat comforting, it looks like from his ebay acount, that it's a music store... so there might be some credibility.

if it is legit... it's up to you to sell it back or not... when you get it, play the guitar for awhile, see how much you like it, consider how hard it would be to replace... then either appologize and tell him you love the guitar to much to part with it, or tell him you'll sell it back to him for a significantly higher price(for waisting your time).

__________________

TRy to tell the endorser to put in contact with you, maybe he/she can change the guitar or pay something else for it.

__________________

It might be a scam, but maybe not, & like i said keep it & let that dude deal with his own problems.

I would keep it, I meen you were so excited about having it and now he wants it back? Fuck Him!

^ What he said. That's exactly what I would do.

I'd doubt that it be a fake, w/ his good feedback, and considering it's a store.

yeah guys i got the guitar today, and i dont know what the deal is with him trying to get it back. its not broken ,and is in even better condition than he descdribed it. brand new....so something's up, but i paid for it and i got the guitar so hes not getting it back

vids/pics to come

__________________

well sounds good, so glad it wasnt a scam

__________________

that's great.

normally when i hear about an "issue" and someone mentions money order... i get nervous.

and i agree with BEHEMOTH, if he's serious about this endorsed player BS... request to speak to the player directly and explain to him that this guitar now belongs to you.

__________________

Holy shit! I think I need some new undies after seeing that badboy!

imagine playing it! its incredible......its not much for a rhytm guitar but for leads its SOOOOO GOOD! i love it <3

so vids/pics still to come hehe
