Sly scammer on Ebay...

[JellyJoe]

Please help me ditch this by reporting fake, "Fender Stratocaster di liuteria" refers to Fender's own Custom Shop guitars, that's a chinese fake cheapass guitar.
I can't believe Ebay allowed that title without checking the pics more carefully...

If you help me trash it, I'll give rep points to everybody.
We love replicas, that's why we hate people trying to exploit them to scam noobs...

Cap'n Joe irates: :jellyg:

rep added to both

 

[boostin20]

Thanks for the rep, but more importantly, thanks for keeping these douche nozzles off of ebay. It's one thing to know going in that it's a rep, it's another to get scammed.

 

[JellyJoe]

[waterluver]

Reported as fake--hopefully they will remove it soon!!

[tommy_boy]

I'm taking you guys' word for its lack of authenticity.

I don't know Italian or Fender. :lol:

Reported.

 

[JellyJoe]

rp added thanks tomz

 

[yk1]

Reported.

Just curious - what makes you so sure this is a fake? (other than the price)

 

[JellyJoe]

no logo on headstock (wrongly shaped) nor on neck plate (hardly visible in the pics), and lots of other features.

 

[frodostar]

Reported!! cant believe its still up!

 

[levelmanroger]

I can't report it as fake from the mobile version, but will when I get to a computer later.
I barely play guitar and this screams fake even to me due on first glance to the lack of insignias.
I can't read Italian, though. Does he state it to be a copy or homage in the description text? Because after 23 bidders it's still under $100, so obviously the potential buyers know its not real.

heya lmr hows it going buddy.
He has been purposely shady to death. He wrote "Fender Stratocaster di liuteria" which brings you to think it's a custom-shop gen Fender, thus virtually built according to buyers directions from Fender Custom Shop.
He should have titled "Electric guitar Fender-style" then whatever you want from there.
I know experts will never be fooled by that pos, I just don't want any noobs to think they are bidding on a 2grand+ guitar while its prolly worth around 60-70 bucks.
Infact it is just a chinese replica, besides in the low end cheapest area.
It's more or less like selling a "Panerai 127 custom" (gen with custom ordered dial or "happy birthday dear" engraving somewhere), and pushing a 20-skull canal street crapzor.
That's not "liuteria" (handcrafted by luthiers), it's just cheap junk (which I have nothing against, if it's named what it is).
That scumbag is selling a few guitars with the same shady titles.
rep added to all so far

 

[jesseharmon81]

I just reported as well, the back of the guitar is what looks off to me... Can't believe everyone who has reported it and it is still up... Maybe EBay has skeleton crew working on weekends!
