bmi
I emailed the seller and ask for a frontal pic and she said what did i mean. i explained very plainly, saying the part where it would have bmi on it, or if you were playing it and someone wanted to take your picture.
I never heard back?
So go figure

I'll take another look, but did you see the bmi name on the guitar anywhere?
I was looking for a pic of the front apron, is that in there?
Thanks

I get that same response when I ask females for a "frontal pic".Randy Carson wrote:I emailed the seller and ask for a frontal pic and she said what did i mean.

ok,
i get it now. there are two bmi guitars on ebay. one is blue which i'm talking about and the other is the guitar that is on this post. i never thought to click on the link since i had seen a bmi on ebay that was blue that has no frontal pic on it.
the starting price on the blue one is 1195, unless it's already sold.
so that explains it.

BMI with "piano" style footlevers..
Looks to me like a 'helpful Ebayer' got the lady to setup correctly--new pics added, and the mention that she had never seen it set up before. This has a pickup in it that is one of my favorites. If it didn't get bid up any more, it would be a great 'steal'..but I imagine more interest will follow.

I also saw the add on Ebay.This is the second time it has appeared I believe.It is a good one.A 3 & 3 can do most anything you need.I think it will probably go for around 900.00 or a little more,but it looks good.Still think I've seen it before..Jerry

It's mine
Hi all-I am both new here and to the world of psg, and it's all very exciting! I bought this, and whatta long strange trip. The shipping took forever (still not sure of all the details, but I chalk it up to typical ebay/UPS idiocity), and I probably paid too much. My experience with this makes me want to strongly urge any other beginners to make sure you buy from an actual player or dealer. This thing was a train-wreck. I can only assume it was owned by some "rugged individualist" who had no desire to adhere to any conventions, or an idiot. It had a C6 string set(!) and the under side was
a tangled mess. I sure learned a lot (starting from knowing absolutely nothing about the mechanics of psg) in a short amount of time, and have just about got it straightened out and playable. I will be contacting BMI and obtaining some parts next week, but for now, I have my Winnie Winston book, and am "wailing" on Red River Valley! What an incredibly joyous noise!! I am hooked and there's no turning back!!
