[slayer32390]

If you can't find an RR1 under $1,000 used, you're not looking hard enough.

I always wanted to use that smiley

LOL That guy's an idiot, because it's an import RX10D.

He just changed his auction to the right model number. Someone must have tipped him off.

If the MOTO inlays don't bother you, then it's clear that you have a very small peepee. Real men require MOP.

No, no we dont. If we had enough money for a USA, do you really think we would be bitching about a $1000+ import with toilet seat inlays? Why would we even care if that was the case?

BECAUSE IT HAS 24 FRETS!!!!!

Than I must be not looking hard enough to find a RR1 under a grand! (unless it's a piece of shit) but that's EXACTLY why I won't buy a new RR1 because you'll lose a $1000 just to sell it. They just don't seem to hold their value in the used market. (unless it's something special)

Basically any guitar except vintage/collectable doesn't hold it's value

There are at least two on ebay right now!

75% of you who say "if it had this or didn't have that I'd buy it" are full of shit. You probably wouldn't even buy it if it was because you'd find some other girly reason why it doesn't meet your needs.

Fucking ungrateful whining little bitches.... the lot of you.

That's just what I was trying to say about a dozen pages ago AND you said it in about 3 paragraphs less than me

OK I'm better now.

Since the whole MOP vs. MOTO inlays "discussion" seemed to get a bit out of hand in this thread, I decided to do some checking around. I can tell you in one word the difference between the two: COST. We're not talking small change either, we're talking a 10:1 cost difference, for the materials alone. Also, MOP is harder to work with than plastic, more brittle, harder to cut, easier to break and just generally more difficult to work with. Labor costs for cutting, shaping and inlaying MOP will be higher due to all this.

FYI, the materials cost alone for a 10 piece set of Jackson style sharkfin inlays is 8 euros for plastic and 79 euros for real MOP from a local instrument parts supplier. For you guys in the states that's approximately $10 and $100 respectively.

As for me, MOP is nice to have, but it's certainly not a deal-breaker. And I like bound necks, both for their appearance and feel.

[RacerX]
