This looks like it might be a good deal- Cimax was an Ibanez brand from the late 70s- so this is a lawsuit era fretless. If i didn't all the parts for a fretless sitting on my bench, I'd be all over this

Yip, you read it here - R8500 for a guitar that is as good as a fender. Fret not about the Behringer label on the headstock, just rub it off with your thumb and call it a custom. Oh and a matching amp...someone restrain me!

"Out of a squire bullet strat (arguably the best entry level guitar ever made)"

He's right, we'd argue. ?

V8, I followed the above link, and the ad has obviously expired by now - BUT, it did lead me to this gem:

Anyone want an almost new Les Paul with an aftermarket nut, made of human bone? Only R35k.

I almost wanted to ask if it was from an amputated limb or a cadaver.

Bwahahahaha - my mate was looking for one, the GT-10 apparently plays nicely with iPad's. I guesstimated around R3k for one in good condition - which I thought was a tad pricey for a chunk of 00's tech.

Guess that box is worth 5k then. ?

Post of the week for me. How the dickens do you explain a nut made of human bone. My skin just crawls at the thought. I do not want to meet the seller or buyer of this instrument. Ewww.

Trawling the classifieds does occasionally make me laugh. Occasionally there's a 'wtf' moment. And once or twice in a blood moon there's a Hello Kitty Squire for R7499... w.t.f ? :

Well they're negotiable and it comes with a strap. Whoop-whoop.
