It's probably legit "looks like an old musician selling off a bunch of stuff" but I'm gonna stay away from it cause it's too good of a deal 🤣

[diablo175]

Hmm. Something's a little off. OFR bridge on an '87 tracks but is the finish stripped?

[Cboss]

Is it an OFR? I don't see any markings on it; that bridge and that body look suspiciously like one of the Asian Imports

SN looks bizarre also

 

[Cboss]

Ask for a picture of the back, metal covers hamer, plastic covers import

[cmatthes]

It’s a USA.

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Floyd looks like an import/licensed. Should be a Schaller (Made in Germany) Hamer stamped or at the very least an OFR. I'd buy it for $450 (I have a spare 86 OFR from a US Chap in my parts drawer)! I would buy it if I'd already moved to Canada. Too much hassle to get it to England (when I live right now)...

Stalking the sellers facebook page, there are 2 photos of the guitar from 2014.

Honest to God, why doesn't somebody here snag this up?.  If anything, it'll be a great modding platform... or flip it and make $800-$1000👍 

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Seriously: if it was possible for me to buy this, I would! I don't move to Canada until August 2024 though. It would be a lot easier for me to get it to Canada than it would to England (where I am now)...

Yup, to me this is a no brainer 🤯

Well he's added some pickup ring screws in the last 9 years 🤣

It’s probably there because it doesn’t say anything about shipping. He’s in the middle of… umm… no idea where Caledonia NY is 

[Cboss]

Just west of rochester, pretty close to the Canadian border
