Steve Haynie Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 The price is better. If it drops a little more it could be tempting to buy it and burn it to rid the world of that horror story.
Biz Prof Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I actually looked closely at all the photos this time around. As bad as this sounds, I think the fretboard is worse than the body.

thoro Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 The shop of this seller seems to be full of torn apart guitars and parts like this...

thoro Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Description says: "SCALLOPED FINGERBOARD from 12th fret onwards = NOT a pro job" ...and it looks quite "interesting" on the photos.
Eli Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 The only option is to buy it and go full Devo with it:
chromium Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Music-outlet-shop seems to be a long running "Island of Doctor Moreau" for guitar abominations.
brddg Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Oh FFS. I didn’t have any idea you could ruin a guitar more than once. This is haunting me as the guitar version of a bilateral amputee 😳🤢🤮
