    I'm suprised they accepted it too...the stupid seller didn't insure it, so they probably didn't care...

    The case is a piece of crap, too. I'm suprised it even made it here alive...

    Here are some pics...

    The guy is being pretty nice about it...he'd never shipped a guitar before. I'm asking him to refund some money to me since the case is beat to hell and the guitar wasn't described very well...it is a nice player though...

    It is a pretty sweet 1978 Ibanez ES-175 copy...I sorta accidentally bid on it the day before I bought my Gibson 175...they're both great guitars, but I think I'm stickin' with the Gibby....the Ibanez has a sweeeeeet neck on it though, and a nice finish. It also has cool old guitar mojo...

    Well if you ever get tired of it, just stick a couple of stamps directly on the guitar, scribble the address on the finish with a sharpie and shove it into your mailbox. Apparently this guitar can take about anything.

    I'm glad the guitar wasn't damaged.

    I had someone ship me a 4X12 in a cardboard box once. No packing, just a box. It got banged up pretty good too.
    My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

    LOL - initially I thought you meant it was saran wrapped minus the case. At least he wasn't that stupid.

    All I can keep thinking is, "You've got to be kidding me!" How can someone be so stupid as to not ship the thing in a box?! I'm glad it made it to you undamaged, but that's unbelievable. And I'm also really suprised that the shipping company went along with it. You should definately get some $ back from that guy.
