If you have the ability to sign in to Facebook (my wife has an account) you can report the item being sold as a possible counterfeit. I don't know if it works like flagging on CL, but I would think if enough people reported it, FB would kill the ad.
Come to think of it, I don't know if you...
Fun is where you find it -
Mic'ed the necks of both the Deluxe and the ES-347 and came up with right at .800 at the 1st fret and 1.00" at the 12th - for both. Must have been the Norlin Pattern Neck. Oddly, I would have guessed the 347 would have come out larger by feel but I was as accurate...
I bought a kitchen scale yesterday and can report the weights of the guitars. These may not be exact but unless you fret about every ounce, I think it's a close approximation .
The R6 shows a weight of 8 lbs, 1.33 ozs.
The ES-347 came in at a svelt 8 lbs, 1.5 ozs. That surprised me with...
Grosh model called the '59 Spec and the only Grosh model I know of that has the trapezoid inlays vs the dots. Comes with the CITES certificate for the dark Brazilian rosewood fret board so you can travel/ship legally. High quality Honduran mahogany and flamed maple top, great resonance and...

While I'm here - added some pictures of the little dings on the Goldtop
This is a pan from the shot in the first post of the one line of natural checking...
Thanks guys - I've loved having it. It's one of those ones you pause to look at for a few seconds longer when you open the case. The few times I've played it out I've found people gravitate towards it. I was at an open mic and some kid comes up and stuck his hand out and said he wanted to use...
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while hoping for a different result.
How about $500 off the R6 ($5,400) and $200 off the ES-347 ($3,000) for a face to face sale. Plus actual shipping if you go that route. 53948 zip.
