jonno1981 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I saw this on gumtree too and messaged him to say its a rebranded import instrument with a dodgey logo on it. The varnish, logo, slab board, string tree location etc etc are all wrong.He MUST have known he was ripping someone off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm outside his house too. Thanks, Google Streetview! In all seriousness though, I hope you get this resolved, I'd estimate that three quarters of the price you paid is scammer tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'd be really interested to know if he did take it to a music shop and which one he took it to. Thats assuming he wasn't fully aware he was selling this poor guy a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
