    Refinish. V12 to Nitro (CAB?)

    PRS cost is $1900, and they're backed up 12-26 months. Painting would take 16-18 weeks. That's Nitro over CAB, no paint color changes. I'm not sure Nitro is that important to me. $1+ I'd be willing to stomach, but $2k is going to give me some pause. I understand it's labor intensive, which...

    I did. He said no nitro I cant post a screenshot for some reason - but I was told this by them on FB Messenger.

    good point. I plan on this guitar being a family heirloom. So I don't care about who does it. But I do care that it's done right. I trust PRS to do this.

    Sounds like he doesn't offer Nitro.

    Are there any reputable guitar shops that you (or anyone else) would trust to strip V12 and refinish to Nitro?

    Does nitro vs poly affect sound that much? Sticky finish is a good point. I think I'd request that they don't finish the neck or sand it down to natural wood (preferred) and oil it. The V12 gets sticky sometimes, but I've got used to it.

    That's phenomenal information and photos, thanks. I wouldn't have expected the color to change so much. Did they intentionally choose a darker stain? My guitar is my avatar photo. Wouldn't want to go much darker than it already is (charcoal). Sounds like the CAB is wearing more like poly (v12)...

    I want my PRS to wear like a vintage guitar. I've had my PRS for about 9 years. As someone who likes to change gear a lot, the PRS is the only one that has gone nowhere. I don't mind investing in to get it exactly the way I want. The only 2 things I'd change are the back of neck finish ( satin)...

    Am I being Scammed on eBay?

    Resolved...... the buyer gave me their cell. I called and they said they found the bass. Apparently a mix up with their 80+ year old father who bought the bass.... I don't know 100% all the facts, but they apologized profusely and it appears to be over..... Thanks all! I hope I don't have to...

    Am I being Scammed on eBay?

    I'm with you on all that. 100%. I didn't tell them the weight that I know the box to be. And if they claim it's the same weight, I'll call their BS. I packed the bass. The photos looks the same. Even the inner Styrofoam being wrapped in gray plastic. It's definitely the box I shipped. But not...

    Am I being Scammed on eBay?

    They're sending me photos of the box and packaging. And the weight of the shipment. See if it matches up. Their communication so.far has been good. If it's a scam, they're being elaborate.

    Am I being Scammed on eBay?

    I think I'm being scammed...... sold a bass on ebay last week. Shipped on Saturday. Delivery was scheduled for Wednesday but UPS said the address was incorrect and went back to warehouse. I reached out to the buyer to see if they contacted UPS to arrange for delivery, and they chose to pick it...
