Here are the pics..Does it seem legit ?

Looks legit and looks pretty clean...

Just one thing though. Since this is a 2012 model, the fretboard is laminated, meaning it has a two-piece fretboard. Almost everybody here agrees that it doesn't change the tone or anything but it might be an issue if you are thinking about selling it in the future.

I am not sure how much R7s go for overseas but if the price looks steep I would try to talk the seller down because of the 2-piece fretboard

Good luck!

looks all good. Is it a new one ore is it used? Would you have to pay much on fees and duties when importing one from the EU? You could easily find a cheaper one or one that is not from 2012 with the bikini board if you mind that.

Don't you have turkish friends living in the EU and come to Turkey frequently and bring it with them and bring it into the country without paying for freight, taxes and duties? Every turkish guy I know and that's many of them, visits his country often enough
