I couldn't get a response out of either one of them. The first one was with the original case for $1500.00 and probably was legit, just bad luck and timing on my part. I don't know what to think about this one.

Location: Cincinnati | Mark,
the first one was on the Sandusky, OH CL. I sent several emails and never got a response. I did, however, start getting a lot of spam for the Dish Network. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I emailed this guy twice on the day the ad came out and he never responded. If the guitar is for real, my guess is that it may have been stolen. After looking at the car, it would be hard to believe the owner of the the guitar is one and the same. Obviously the person who placed the ad didn't know a lot about that instrument. |

I can't believe that everyone would have missed that. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I can't believe someone would have an Adamas slothead to stand next to the Escort for the picture, but it sure looks like one. Suppose it could be a photoshop of one of Al's pics next to his pickup? |

Location: big island | i did. enjoyed a nice, hot cafe mocha.
it is rather feasible to concur that the "sold" was always there and nobody focused on it. i did not notice it at first either. it's one o' dem eye/brain trickery things. maybe the seller is not so "ignorant" ;) |

| @DVD Original listed price was 350.
I looked at it this AM, went back & looked at it now - didn't see the SOLD replacing the price until I refreshed my browser. |

The "angle" of the headstock in that picture looks a little "odd"(t'me) . . . but it IS kinda' hard t'tell with such a shitty picture . . . |
