Me either, but a quick search shows a USA decal looking more like this: The decal in the ad may be a bit TOO "Made in U.S.A." Also, and maybe it's camera angle / fisheye effect, the placement and size of the decal looks suspect.
LucSulla Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 The font is wrong. I'm also not sure that the "M" stamped on the neck in the actual add is a good sign.
Travis Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Plus, the headstock shape is wrong, proportions are way off.

RobB Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Trussrod nut, cutout are all wrong. Logo is wrong, and the DOM stamps are wrong. China. The only thing that looks legit is the neck plate. The seller doesn’t know what they have.

Steve Haynie Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 That seller has been running ads like that for years. It may even be the same guitars for years.

I wonder what the negotiation is there. Are these just girls from the neighborhood? Friends? Does he sell it as a modeling line for a CV?

Steve Haynie Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Sell the guy a bunch of old guitar magazines and let him search for which tuner Dimebag endorsed.

Tortious Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 ^^ On a nylon string, too? If that hurts someones fingertips too much, they should move on to bassoon or something. I am always amazed at those who go the extra mile to make their product as attractive as possible, to command the top dollars they are looking for in the sale. https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/msg/d/hialeah-vintage-hondo-732-deluxe-series/7100033729.html Quote Vintage Hondo 732 Deluxe Series made in the USA for 100 dollars Really? Hondo had a USA operation?
