Hairy Dave Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I agree - the seller probably does not have the guitar. Two minutes on the web will give anyone a rough idea of what a guitar like that would cost. No way you would put it on without a reserve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchabalk Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think those are pictures of a genu-wine SJ-200 custom. It looks real nice. it's a shame the sunburst on the back is a little off. The auction looks a little suspicious for sure though and as was said already - rounding up a bunch of pictures of a nice guitar is pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not pictures taken by the seller. Makes you think.... If I were you, I wouldn't do it. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruffchris Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was perving at guitars last night and came across this J-200. http://www.guitarmart.co.uk/advert/G14761 Not a bad copy, burst is wrong and the electrics, but it worries me buying a second hand, cause it ain't that far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only after you drew suspicion, I compared this one to the one on Gibson's site. Side by side you can see obvious differences, but otherwise you would be fooled.
