Fake ebay ad

thexmadxtopxhatter · 05-23-2012, 10:36 PM

I guess this is a "fake" ebay ad. I dont know whether the seller is misinformed or lying to just scam people for a little extra money, but this is obviously a modern les paul classic that he's advertising as a 1967 les paul. Obviously a misleading ad and we need to report this before someone loses thousands over this.

There's nothing fake about the guitar other than the listing, which obviously the seller is unaware of since he's only asking $1000 (which is a good price for a classic).

Yeah i guess. I'll make the seller aware. They have 100% feedback so that's a good sign

Thea still over 4 days left on the auction. No point int judging the price until the last day and usually the last couple hours.

What's going on with the 5th picture? The scuff marks are in a different place to the 4th, and seem to go over the control cavity cover!

My point was the seller wasn't asking a fortune. I know how auctions work.

That would appear to be the overhead lighting being reflected in the back for the different shots.

Nothing wrong with the good old Classic. Except the owner beat the helluva it.

How can you tell it's Nashville without looking a side? Really, just curious... is it wider/narrower than ABR?

Love the shoes

Nashville bridges are WIDER than ABR-1 bridges. Once you know the difference, you can tell right off regardless of the photo angle. Also, the intonation adjusting screws are towards the tail piece on a Nashville, not towards the pick up (like on an ABR-1 bridge).

Thanks! I've only got ABR-1 so I can not compare to other

Looks like a beat up version of my 1999 Classic:

Although the S/N looks odd and the case is different. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.
