I wonder if this guitar is in Yorkshire (1st link) or California (2nd link)!?

Wow, what are the odds on two people, soooo very far away from each other, taking two seemingly identical fotos..

oh, see what you mean

Ask the question and send both of them a link to each others auctions...

Simply ask for new pictures, if they cant do it...

I'm not far from sheffield...

ThePrettyDamned

That's a nice colour.

Oh, that other is a nice colour.

No, wait...

Yeah, definitely ask for more pics.

yes. I always ask them to take a photo of it with a piece of paper next to it with the word "WOLF!" If they say no, it's in California. (Which it is because some of the pics are sunny)

If you look at the American photos, there is a USA mains socket in one of the pictures ... unless they have those in Sheffield??

Of course the Sheffield one could just be a lazy seller who "borrowed" the photo from the other listing.

and the American plug sockets in the backround...

And the fact that the american probably didn't call the sheffield chap and say "can you send me some more photos of your guitar that you haven't included in your listing so I can list it too please?"

I think the UK seller is just a lazy sod who's nicked the photo.  Look at his other listing:

I'll bet all his school reports read - "must try harder"

Fckng appalling behaviour. At the very least if I'm buying sight unseen, I'd like to see an actual set of photos of it. The cnt.

Cosmetic wise there are a few small marks in the finish and a little buckle rash on the back. I reckon these could all be touched up with a little paint.

Yeah, nice hobby brush and a drop of Humbrol and you're good to go.

I've notified the American seller that someone else is using his picture. Balls to the English seller, it pisses me off! Someone somewhere will be thinking that's the exact guitar they are receiving!

Makes me laugh when people put this kind of thing in ads. "Slight problem with xyz, but an easy fix". Well if it's so easy why haven't you fixed it then?

That's what I always think..
