maybe for bic shavers or doritos, but I dont think you will see it with a whole bunch of ugly high priced guitars. what the hell is FMIC goign to do with them? sell them as firewood? I know some items can be returned to the factory, but I dont think custom built guitars are one of them, especially because they wont sell.

Not sure about these customs, but some of the '87 Charvel one-hum Model 5A got sent back to the factory and got added neck single coils and toggle switch, some even got tone controls.

I don't think Carr got the memo on this.

It is possible to return stock back to the vendor. Ive seen it happen

Could they put the missing fret on? :think:

Yeah, these were overpriced wide-nutted flat-sawed v-trem'ed "retro" guitars and I can't believe what they were trying to sell them for to begin with. If they had modern Charvel appointments and the retro paint and Grover plate they MIGHT have sold for $1500 - $2000 while the iron was hot.

And those "black series" guitars are neat, for $1700. Oh my bad, $2200? Good luck with that.

So here's what I trhink they should do: send them back to the factory, strip the hideous finish, rout them for a neck single or hb, re-paint them in basic solid colors and sell them for 999 max.

Call me crazy, but I may just pull the trigger on one.

If they pulled out the wood screw Floyd posts and put in the newer inserts for them, I'd probably pull the trigger on one, too. I do like the splatter.

[MadPeter]

Come on guys, doesn't the neck plate say "Grover Jackson" on it? But seriously, these would have been better with just a solid finish... and 22 frets.

I totally agree on that!

I dont think FMIC will take them back. thats not how it goes. the dealer bought them, and they own them. its up to them to sell them. Factories dont take stock back just because a dealer got excited and got overzealous with their orders and ordered way they hell too many guitars. there aint no going back.

21 frets + vintage trem combined with a 'heavy metal' paintjob = very very tough sell I gotta say I expect to see these way cheaper. Either that or FMIC will take them back...

There's actually a couple I think look ok. But none of them really get me going.

Ugly is ugly, no mater who made them ugly.

[neilli]

any precedent for that? Put them in the vault and bring them back out 20 years from now like Disney?

Not that I know of BUT as I understand it, they did pull the 'tourmented' guitars out of the warehouse to give them the Floyd and relicing treatment when they weren't selling. I wouldn't be surprised if TMZ could return them to FMIC as unsellable. Either that or FMIC could drop pricing again like they've already done to get them down from the initial (high) pricing..
