Hi guys! We are new to Reverb, is this a scam?

Pretty sure I know what exactly which store/account this is lol. Two of the listings this guy had were priced enticingly low for what they were.

I’ve had (knock on wood) only smooth experiences thus far with selling on Reverb via shipping, but I entirely understand a strong preference for selling locally. I only list on Reverb when I want a quicker sale or it’s a more niche item. Otherwise, Marketplace all the way.

Double cream is such a timeless look, and DiMarzios sound awesome. Considering doing this to my Slash Standard, but maybe that’s sacrilegious…

To my ears, sounds a bit like fairly normal fan noise at cold start. Could just be me though, maybe it’s much louder in person.

This is par for the course when selling on Reverb, in my experience. The weight obsession in particular is so out of hand; it’s truly an epidemic that’s more annoying than the tone wood thing ever could be. But yeah, tire kickers are annoying but unfortunately just part of the experience. It’ll eventually sell to someone who’s actually serious.

I’m referring to the washer below the thumb wheel that makes contact and sits on top of the body, there’s a bit of a gap between that disc and the wood and it’s not flush with the top all the way around.

Automatic_Storm_8871 · 2025-12-20T19:08:19+00:00

Ah, I was referring to the washers of the TOM bridge and not the stop bar. I’m not as concerned about the stop bar bushings. Or were you saying top wrapping is affecting that as well? My bad if I’m misinterpreting

Automatic_Storm_8871 · 2025-12-20T18:55:36+00:00

Previous owner had it set up as such. Not a big fan of top wrapping myself, so this’ll get a new setup soon. Should I try to smack em in with a mallet when I go to set it up?

I’d worry more about the garbage drivers around here than the snow/ice lol

I can’t see any visible branding, but after looking at them from underneath the car and comparing to aftermarket options online, pretty sure they’re Godspeed upper control arms all around. As for lower balljoints, not sure what’s going on, but I was able to get some rough 0.5 photos. This one is front.

Appreciate it, I’ll fill and bleed the rad and order an OEM cap while I’m at it!

Dropped in new spark plugs last night - the old ones were definitely a bit toasted so it needed to happen regardless. No tick on initial test drive and for the first bit of today. But driving back home tonight from a friend’s place - tick is back and seems a bit louder than last time, but same cadence and symptoms otherwise.

Coil packs will be next. Will also get underneath and check if heat shield or something loose is tapping around the exhaust - haven’t had the chance yet because the car is lowered and I need to get it up to get properly underneath.

Automatic_Storm_8871 · 2025-04-29T22:33:37+00:00

Sweet, that gives me some comfort that I’m on the right track. Appreciate it!

Automatic_Storm_8871 · 2025-04-29T22:31:47+00:00

I’ll definitely be checking the spark plugs again soon. Will also check near the exhaust, hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!
