Re: Capo guitars
The CoA on the R9 reverb auction is actually for this guitar.sizzlingbadger wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 1:16 pm The serial number in his CoA (photo on Reverb) isn't the same as the one on the guitar....

Interesting on the trademe photos you can see the CoA but there's a hang tag covering all the details. Sketchy!

Re: Capo guitars
Theres a headstock back shot of the guitar I think he's actually selling which has the same format serial number: http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Elect ... gured.aspx and has the same black neck and custom switch plate....

Re: Capo guitars
Asked him for a picture of the CoA and it clearly shows its an LP Standard!

Re: Capo guitars
The CoA he has on TM says Les Paul Standard. WTF? Is he that thick?
He’s scamming himself.
EDIT: I am wrong...the R9's had these certs at this point.

Re: Capo guitars
Wouldn't matter if TradeMe closed his account. He'd just set up another. It all goes to underline that it's a case of buyer beware. Thank God I don't buy any gear these days. It's shark-infested out there.

Re: Capo guitars
What a turd. It was bought off the trader known as Swordfish in a private sale.
Swordfish is an upfront guy.
Does not sell any fakes.
Buys/bought his stuff via the Rockshop and Conways outfit.
I also recall the guitar had a bunch of the same sort of questions raised in trademe madness at the time it was for sale
