Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Man those things are fake.. stay away from them. Did I say those things are fake and to stay away from them? Just in case you didn't get it the first time mate. It's a fake. Just from what I can see of the head stock/inlays...fake. The price' date='even in US$ is still way under what it should be if it were real. And the ol' Western Union Money swindle... Spare me. STAY AWAY my fellow Aussie from "down under" before you're "done over". Sorry had to put that in,couldn't help myself:-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 One dead give away. The grammar. I don't even need to see the pics. People tell me I'm crazy, but I've been right about this too many times. On Ebay, I won't even consider buying from somebody who can't compose a message properly. It's the FIRST hint that English is not their first language. And if it is their first language, it's the first hint that they are a ******. Either way, they won't see a penny from me. Let me borrow Mrs. Neo's 1st grade teacher hat and peruse the email this guy sent. I count at least 10 strikes against 'em, especially with the random caps and odd spaces....

Why is the item described as (ORIGINAL USA) when Gibson doesn't even call it that? 2. So, where's the factory hard case if it is available in brand new box? Curious wording. 3. Ever wonder if a REAL 335 comes with manuals,certificate and accessories? None of My Gibsons did. 4. It is Original made in USA with last long warranty with hardcase. Ah, there's the case... Original? Originally? Last long warranty? How long? Lifetime maybe? If it's a Gibson, it's not referred to as a "last long" warranty. 5. 30% discount off on? 6. guitar (that has) been bought 7. Western Union is so you'll never find them and will have absolutely no recourse. In the age of the internet, Western Union is sadly pretty much for criminal enterprise only. 8. This shipping informations, make you confirm... Huh? 9. for we to proceed on your order purchase and deliver... Huh? 10. Awaits your quick reply... Awaiting maybe? Musical Essentials is a name I've seen many times regarding the marketing of fake products in the USA. Not just guitars, they proudly boast they can produce just about anything you can imagine. If the website is a bit dodgy looking as well, and at this stage you're voting that we were all wrong and it is legit, please get back to us with the results of your little risk-taking adventure. $800.00 USD for a 335.....crazy!!!! If you can find ANY 335 for $800, you can bet your testes that there's something wrong with it. How did it all work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Does anyone live in the UK here? If so could you give them a ring to get the lowdown. If you are willing to drop $800 for a guitar you think might be iffy spend a couple dollars on a phone call... You are just a long distance phone call away from not getting ripped off. if you do get them on the phone tell them you want a photo of the guitar with the case open and a banana on top of the guitar. If they are legit they will have no problem doing what ever kind of photo you ask for. If they do send you the photo of the guitar with the banana at least you know they really have the guitar. Personally I would stay away from this... Has scam written all over it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
