Two thoughts sprung to mind when I saw that:

1) LOL

2) HOW MUCH?

I would. If the airbrush was a better job...
No problem with the subject matter, it's rock n roll, and since I don't do drugs I'll settle for two out of three :lol:

That one's been on eBay for months, if not years - but I've never actually noticed what the picture was, I just saw it had some stupid graphic.  :oops:

"music-outlet-shop" is one of the weirdest eBay sellers - they only ever have one blurry photo and a vague description, and they keep re-listing the same guitars over and over and over again.  Can't believe they ever sell anything.  :?

i find it very disturbing how they have airbrushed red around all the parts as if they are an infected piercing  :?

They're rather ambitious on most of their prices as well. However they do seem to have a pile of interesting stock but it does hang around for ever.

I was also wondering if they'd painted the back in the same manner. Buckle rash and chocolate starfish.

A guy I know on the Duncan Forum that's lived in Germany for years (who was a luthier when he lived in the USA) thinks that the music-outlet-shop guy on ebay is a big con that's selling fakes, hence the dodgy photos that don't really show any details. Apparently he and some of his friends have had 'issues' with them before, hence his opinion.

Argh... my eyes!!!!!!!!!  :shock:

That is horrible and anybody playing that voluntarily on stage should be considered a threat to society!

Well, I certainly wouldn't risk buying from them!

there is ALWAYS something dodgy about the stuff they sell - never seen one single auction of theirs where the guitar looked legit.
