REAL YARDBIRD OR EBAY SCAM?!!!
« on: April 28, 2007, 12:04:49 AM »
take a look at this eBay item and have a look at the picture supplied of the rear of the pickup. Now is it just me being paranoid or is he trying to sell a non bare knuckle pickup as a bare knuckle yard bird?

My suspicion comes from the lack of markings on the back which from what ive seen every bare knuckle should have> am i correct in thinking so?

Get back to me! as bidding ends tomorrow near enough and im very interested !

Cheers...Mark

i agree about the markings, but i don't know if they are put on yardbirds or not.....

my suspicion is that he has bought ayardbird then selling something random in their box, but i doubt that is the case.

Don't buy it. I have BKP single coils (strat) and a Humbucker and if they're both engraved they'd most definately engrave a tele single coil. It does have cloth hook-up wire though...

Not worth the risk, I say.

You could check with Tim, but I reckon that's a scam.
