Dear all..
I am trying to educate all the buyers and window shoppers here..
for all of you who didin't know, once you remove the entire set of strings, the guitar neck will begin to lose its tension. The worst scenario you will have is the neck becoming badly warped, causing discomfort and unsmooth playing as the string action become higer than usual. Although you guys sellers might argue its only slight increase in action height, but the difference in sting action is obvious enough to drive you crazy.
Nobody is sure of how long has the guitar been left lytat without strings. If its a Japanese of higher grade guitar, its ok lah..as the guitar is of higher-end built, even if it's warp, it is still worth the money to tune back the neck and everything. However, lower end ones, like indon, china, taiwan, thailand, espcially korea guitars, (and especially 2nd hand ones), once the neck is warp, even if you tune it back straight, the damage is already done, it will still be warp again one of this day. As many ppl know, certain lower end guitars their neck cannot last one.
Even if you buyers dun mind spending the money to tune back the neck, its not worthwhile doing it. All this maintenance costs, subsequently, you add them together, you can actually buy more than 1 pcs of lower end guitars already. and instead of wasting all the money to fix the neck, might as well spend this money on jamming, buying new or upgrading your equipments.
well..i am not here to spoil market or what, i am just trying to give my opinions to all the buyers and sellers out there. Buyers, hope my opinions can help you all. For sellers, pls dun do this kind of thing anymore, dun sell spoilt parts or stuff to all other ppl out there. If you guys got spot carefully, they are ppl selling low end, non genuine parts or even spoil parts at exorbitant and unrealistic prices. Pls be fair to the buyers. A few hundred dollars may be nothing to you, sellers, but to the buyers, its how much they have to sacrifice.
