ebay inaccuracies

[QuattroDore]

Not that this matters to anyone, but I was just drooling over the typical ebay menu of acoustics, and I was chekching out the Santa Cruz here:

Now tell me that I'm wrong, but look at the pictures of the headstock and the full frontal view. Can those possibly be the same guitars? I just wanted to point out how ebay is frought with inaccuracies and anyone buying bidding should remind himself "caviat emptor" (buyer beware).

Personally I would never buy a guitar without playing it first, but I'm sure a couple of people here would venture to bid on what appears to be a sweet deal. Just be careful y'all.

it could be the lighting is THAT drastically different...but there are some scams out there...some real funny Taylor ones lol

a supposed Santana strat (which he NEVER played in his career) made custom by Fender for Carlos (yeah right ) way back when...there was a big thread over at the Taylor Guitar Forum on this...last I saw, the phony was at $1 million...

I bought a Washburn Festival Serie, with 5 years of age, trough ebay


I know it was risquy, but I went to the Music store before bidding on it, tryed it out and I was amazed by the sound, but the price was to expensive to buy it new.

So I got lucky so far and I don't think I'm gonna buy an other guitar trough ebay, maybe Pedals, but no more guitars.


You just need to be as careful as possible, and try to get an item where the seller live near your town.

all the pedals i have bought have been from the inerent. either ebay or harmony central gear classifeds. i have had no problem with any and would use this method again if you want a good deal on gear.
