Title: NOGD
Post by: finstah on April 06, 2015, 07:34:54 AM: Had a 1990 Ibby RG550 that I sold to a friend in New England. Well, he calls to tell me that he got it but apparently FedEx cracked the neck. :hair-out:

so long story short I take it back. Finally after a year I'm able to get the neck repaired and add some new pups. ToneZone in the bridge and PAF Pro in the neck. Well worth the wait and no longer thinking of selling her.

Not sure, I filed a claim, bitched, complained, all for nothing. At least it kept me from selling it. lol

sorry didn't see this dude. No, they didn't pay for anything. Said if they don't pack it, they don't cover it.

That's really bad the insurance didn't cover it, if you packed it well (and I'm sure you did) as MJMP said, how did they break the neck :crazy: , must have taken a mighty whack, peghead breaks ok they can happen (particularly gibsons as they are very susceptible around the nut (as grain runs straight there with the way they make their necks)), but pretty hard to break a neck though, even if you try.

Post by: finstah on June 05, 2015, 12:11:23 PM: it might have been just the normal cracks known to the older Ibby Wizard necks or it could've been my shitty packing job. lol Either way I can't seem to put it down. Love it so much bought an 87 RG550 maple to keep her company.

I received a guitar with a broken neck once...USPS delivered it STANDING ON IT's HEAD in the box, because the bottom of the box was all bent up. I guess they thought the other end looked better, so they started carrying it that way. I blame two things: The seller putting it into a loose fitting case, and not packing it well enough...and the fact that NOWHERE on the box did it indicate anything Fragile or THIS SIDE UP^

Dumbass. I wanted the guitar so much, I had him pay for the repairs and I still have it now
