Can you please delete my account? I can't find out how, or even how to PM for that matter. Looks like I signed up in 2011 but just randomly got emailed something?

Hi Max, i got a NGD post I want to share but I'm having some trouble posting pics up in previous posts, mainly my issue is the image becomes broken. I'm currently hosting through imgur and direct linking, which works for all of an hour maybe.

I searched the forums with some keywords and looked through some others hoping to see a sticky. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Max what would you value that lacs at, as well as, a fair to good condition PWH UV with original case?

Hey Max, would you be able to tell me why my NGD thread got deleted? I wanted to see the replies today and noticed it was gone out of the standard guitars section. Thanks!

Hi max. Just a heads up/apology. I just created a thread in the gear section and my phone did a weird thing and long story short i accidentally created 2 identical threads.
I dont see an option to delete one of them myself.
Help? ... And thanks

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for all of your helpful advice and for dealing with my GAS-bipolarism.

Thanks for your advice, now I have to come up with $2K to send to Rich :p

Hello, here's me bothering you again.
I purchased an FGM100, it's not in perfect shape and I want to restore it.
The knobs have lost the rubber bands and they're very discoloured.
I can't find that model online neither on IbanezRules.
Do you know how they're called or where I could find them?
Thanks and have a good day.

Are you on vacation?! Haven't seen your posts in awhile!

Don't worry, I haven't taken any decision yet.
I have been given the name of Franco Di Filippo too, who in the 80s made guitars for people like Ricky Portera (now Ibanez endorser), Andrea Braido and others under the Douglas guitar brand (but I don't think it's the same Douglas used by Rondo in USA)
Still searching but your info is very useful.
Thanks again Max, your help is always really appreciated.

Anyway I think the costs includes a passage in the Plek machine, as he's an authorized Plek center.
I mailed him again to ask about it.
And I forget to mention that he had worked for Ibanez luthiery service back in the days when the service was still available in Italy.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't wanted to open a thread about it.
I've never played instruments fretted by this man, I only had a bridge swapped in a Yamaha custom, an Ibanez RBM refinished and some set-ups.
I realized the asked price is indeed very high and that's why I asked.
I think I have to search around a bit and ask some other estimate.
Thanks again. :)

Hello Max, I've been asked € 250 to refret an Ibanez Jemm77 '89 with Jumbo 6100.
The wood on the fretboard is in excellent condition, otherwise it would have costed more.
I haven't given the guitar to the luthier yet.
Do you think it's a fair price?
Thanks for the help.

Fearless leader!

"You weren't asked because we, frankly, don't need your permission and even if you were asked there is nothing you could do about it as only Mods can modify threads like that."

This made my week :lol:

Just in general.

Seems like a problem.

you seem like a kewl guy. I just sent you a friend request :) is it ok if I as you a question of advice about something I'm wondering about my pickups, or should I start a thread?

Thank you so much :)
Have a nice day! :)
