Ways to kill your guitar sale on Reverb.

I DON'T SKIP LEG DAY, THE BEER AND CHICKEN JUST NEVER MAKE IT THAT FAR!!!!!!!

Ya'll better be some fit motherfuckers to be saying this guy is publicly tease-ably overweight.

I’m 5’9” and around 155-160lbs, but I don’t see much point in ridiculing the guy. Not until we see the combover and Corvette, anyway.

Combover Corvette

Great name for an 80's rock cover band.

I'm 5'-9" and around 150-155 lbs.
And I said he was overweight and shouldn't wear jewelry.
That's not ridiculing so.............

Don't list your guitar as "Mint" and post photos of buckle rash.

 

[Achilles]

He’s the polar opposite, really. Yngwie knows exactly what he’s doing, and has done very well for himself navigating through the industry on his own terms.

You say potato and I say potato

Yngwie's been doing the same damn music, dressing the same damn way, carrying himself with the same cocky arrogance (although getting toned down with age) as he did/has for the past 40 years. The fact he still has an audience for it in some areas of the globe is more a testament to his hard core fans than to anything the man himself has done.

Dude turns 61 next month. Wearing black leather at his age is 100% Spinal Tap.

Just a worthless opinion.

But I'm just an old fuck with a worthless opinion.

His ability to market himself has paid for Ferraris and Rolexes, so he’s doing what he does better than we’re doing what we does…

I would say don't list anything as mint ever (even if it's completely unplayed)

Psychos out there will find any miniscule reason to claim it was not as described

I just stuffed two scoops of ice cream into my fat face.

I can still ridicule Yngwie though, right?

(P.S. I love Yngwie.)

Meh. Part of the job description, really.

Yeah, buyers looking for an issue (and a partial refund of course~) are more common and a bigger problem than sellers trying to inflate the condition of something they're selling imo



I won't sell online at all anymore, and when I do list something for sale I basically roast the fuck out of it in my ad. Depending on the item I find its usually worth taking the hit from the used gear shop then dealing with insufferable "customers"

I saw him open for Triumph mid 80's. Rik Emmitt had a hard act to follow. in the mid 80's not many players were at his skillset.
Yngwie was in a bad car wreck almost killed late 80's- early 90's. Messed him up real bad. He battled back.
When he was a kid in Sweden when the other kids were playing he had to study Classical guitar.
At one point his Mom pulled him out of school all together to play guitar.
He is a true Prodigy.
He still travels with a wall of real Marshall stacks.
He re-tubes Marshall heads 40+ at a time.
He still has the Ferrari's.
He has a guitar collection that would envy Hendrix Page or Clapton.
He can still bring it.
Is the Neo-Classical thing my bag ? Not not exactly but i marvel at his talent.

 

[Achilles]

He is a true Prodigy.

Indeed!

I saw him open for Triumph mid 80's.

In 83-84 we lived in a tiny attic apartment on the third floor.
When you opened all the windows you could hear quite a bit of immediate neighbor noise.
One day I'm bopping around and suddenly someone has what I learned soon after was
Rising Force absolutely cranked.

I'd just retired playing pro to get married but my chops were still pretty sharp.
In the span of about 60 seconds I wanted to toss my guitar out the window.
MASSIVE Yngwie phase after that.

Then within a VERY short time you had Tony McAlpine and Joe Stump doing Yngwie's thing just as good,
if not better than him. Vinnie Moore could do Yngwie but he had so much better melodic sense.

It was the same with Van Halen for me. Mind blowing first hearing it but the problem was within months
all the local hotshots were nailing Eruption. Then Satriani and Vai hit, along with the other million EVH imitators.

Eddie and Yngwie get their mugs up on the mountain for sure though.

IMO and YMMV and all that.

What if it's mint color?

 

[unix-guy]

I think Reverb sucks now across the board. No deals; everything is priced insanely

Not true... I bought this a couple weeks ago for an extremely less than market value price.

 

[unix-guy]

YJM or Jack Black?

 

[Achilles]

Not true...

Agreed.

This singer is every reason I mostly ignored this era of shred. But oh how I love the guitar parts. (See also Racer X, et al.)
