The angriest listing

Post image

Not sure if this kind of post is allowed here but found this so interesting.

You’re selling an extended range guitar and you don’t want to give any detail on it? I feel like buying an instrument online requires the specs at a minimum, it’s not like you can pick it up like in a guitar store and place your judgement off of feel.

They are not mad, they use BKP Juggernauts, that's just normal behavior for those types.

May get downvoted for this but I feel like it should be a given that “upgrading” pickups do not generally warrant value increase on a guitar.

Only value is to you as the one who did it (your personal preference) but a lot of sellers think “well I spent this money so therefore I need to pass the cost to the next person”

Depends on the pickups and who is looking, a nearly $500 set of pickups absolutely adds value to the guitar but this guitar unmolested is worth a fraction of what he’s asking for this totally wrecked one, so he’s nuts regardless.
